PREDICTION FULFILLED. “Swart et al. recently reported evidence for just such a context-dependent process linked to a similar genetic code change in a ciliate, where UAR=Q and UGA=W or stop, depending on the downstream sequence. These codes are also exciting because they fulfill a central prediction of one of the models for how the genetic code evolves, the Ambiguous Intermediate model.”
