codons, plural;
  1. A sequence of three nucleotides which together form a unit of genetic code in a DNA or RNA molecule

  1. (codon) a specific sequence of three adjacent nucleotides on a strand of DNA or RNA that specifies the genetic code information for synthesizing a particular amino acid
  2. The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material (DNA or mRNA sequences) is translated into proteins (amino acid sequences) by living cells. The code defines a mapping between tri-nucleotide sequences, called codons, and amino acids. ...
  3. (CODON (study association)) Wageningen University and Research Centre (also known as Wageningen UR; abbreviation: WUR) is a research and higher education concern which consists of Wageningen University, the Van Hall-Larenstein School of Higher Professional Education, and the former agricultural ...
  4. (codon) A sequence of three adjacent nucleotides, which encode for a specific amino acid during protein synthesis, or translation. Three special codons, called "stop codons," signal protein synthesis to terminate
  5. (Codon) The trinucleotide sequence of an mRNA that specifies which amino acid will be inserted into a protein.
  6. (Codon) Three bases in a DNA or RNA sequence which specify a single amino acid. See Genetic Code.
  7. (codon) a sequence of three bases in messenger RNA which represent a certain amino acid
  8. (Codon) a triplet of nucleotides in DNA or RNA that specify a specific single amino acid.
  9. A codon is three adjacent letters in RNA that “code” for a particular amino acid in protein translation. For only 20 amino acids, there are 64 possible combinations of the RNA bases so several of the codons (letter combinations) code for the same amino acid. ...
  10. (codon) A sequence of three nucleotides in messenger RNA that codes for a single amino acid.
  11. (Codon) a set of three nucleotide bases in a DNA or RNA sequence, which together code for a unique amino acid. For example, the set AUG (adenine, uracil, guanine) codes for the amino acid methionine.
  12. (Codon) a group of three nucleotides (triplet) of DNA or RNA
  13. (codon) Three base pairs in either DNA or RNA that code for an amino acid (or stop translation).
  14. (codon) a sequence of 3 nucleotides or bases that encodes the information for a particular amino acid (the building blocks that make up proteins). Changes in specific codons can confer resistance to certain drugs (e.g., a codon 215 mutation is associated with AZT resistance).
  15. (CODON) Three-letter words composed of combinations of the chemical letters A, G, C and T. These words make up the genetic code (DNA) that tells the cell to make a product (protein) that the cells can use. Also known as nucleotide triplets.
  16. (CODON) is the study Asscociation for all Biotechnology students. Established by the first students of Bioprocesstechnology on 16 September 1991. At that time the association carried the name "BiPS" which was later changed to CODON. The association's main language is English.
  17. (Codon) A Code is a basic instruction in the DNA, which consists of three Base Pairs. Each Codon tells the Spliceosome to make an Amino Acid.
  18. (Codon) The gene sequence inscribed in DNA (and in RNA) is composed of tri-nucleotide units called codons, each coding for a single amino acid. Each nucleotide sub-unit consists of a phosphate, deoxyribose sugar and one of the 4 nitrogenous bases: Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine or Thymidine. ...
  19. (Codon) Unit of three nucleotide bases contained in the DNA and mRNA that specifies the information for one of the twenty amino acids; the entire array of codons is known as the genetic code. Strings of codons form genes and strings of genes form chromosomes.
  20. (codon) "Words" of the genetic code consisting of three successive nucleotide bases, or "letters". Each codon of a protein-coding gene is supposed to correspond to one amino acid in the protein coded for by the gene. See also synonymous codon.
  21. (codon) a group of three DNA or RNA nucleotide bases. Together they specify the choice of an amino acid residue during peptide synthesis. If one or more of the bases changes, a different amino acid may be specified.
  22. (codon) a triplet of three letters (base pairs) of the DNA alphabet.
  23. (codon) handbell for summoning
  24. (codon) the word for the junction on genetic material (DNA or RNA) occupied by three nucleotides (or bases) to form an amino acid.
  25. organic bases in sets of three that form the genetic ode
