Some archaea—an ancient group of microorganisms—have an entirely novel genetic code, according to a new study in Science. Their genetic code reassigns a DNA “stop” signal to incorporate the rare amino acid pyrrolysine into their proteins.
The findings expand our understanding of how alternative genetic codes evolve and hint at new molecular tools for biotechnology applications. scim.ag/49xnYx3

I have a PhD available via the YBDTP scheme looking at host glycan cross-feeding in the human gut microbiota. What networks does this underpin? What metabolites are produnced? and how would this ultimately impact the host (humans) #glycotime:
