Mitochondrial Codon Reassignment

Mitochondrial Codon Reassignment is a genetic phenomenon in which the standard nuclear genetic code is altered within mitochondrial genomes, leading to the assignment of alternative amino acids or functional meanings to specific codons that differ from their canonical translations in the universal genetic code.
