Definition of codon in English: codonnoun ˈkəʊdɒnˈkoʊdɑn Biochemistry A sequence of three nucleotides which together form a unit of genetic code in a DNA or RNA molecule. Example sentencesExamples - Biochemistry may explain why most of the exceptions to the genetic code involve stop codons.
- Due to the redundant nature of codons, the genetic code shows a significant level of neutrality.
- In effect, the DNA blueprint is a succession of code words, each consisting of a set of three nucleotides, known as codons, in the gene.
- An organism is defined through the set of preferred codons shaping its genome.
- We split the observable changes in the aligned codons in the two sequences into a number of disjoint groups.
