Scientists have successfully reduced the number of amino acids used in the genetic code from 20 to 19. By modifying a part of the ribosome, researchers eliminated the need for isoleucine, a previously essential amino acid. This work explores the possibility that early life forms utilized a more limited genetic code. AI
