This document summarizes the genetic code. It shows the four nucleotide bases - adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T) - that make up DNA and RNA. It displays the 64 possible codon combinations of three bases and which amino acid each codon corresponds to or signals protein synthesis to stop. The genetic code is nearly universal and deciphers the sequence of bases in DNA and RNA into proteins.
