The Da Vinci Code could finally be cracked after 500 years. Well, not exactly the code you’re thinking of – not the one Tom Hanks was hung up over in the film or the famous illustration of the ...

This circular diagram represents the genetic code, showing how the four nucleotide bases of RNA (adenine [A], cytosine [C], guanine [G], and uracil [U]) form codons that specify amino acids. Each ...
