Gilbert heads a lab of scientists and technicians who are sequencing the genetic material of Micoplasma capricolum, a small species of bacteria...
...organisms were thought to involve only the number and type of proteins that are strung together. Now researchers in the U.S., Europe and Japan have found species + that defy certain words in the genetic scripture: in the familiar Paramecium, a single-celled protozoan, and in a bacterium called Mycoplasma capricolum, the DNA patterns responsible for protein construction exhibit a surprising difference. Not only does the discovery undermine the "universality" of the genetic code, but it may cause scientists to rethink certain theories about evolution...
