Extended Data Fig. 4

Comparisons of gene predictions for a region with genes of clearly predicted function in M05_PHAGE_COMPLETE_32_3. a, The standard (code 11) genetic code. b, Both TAG and TAA repurposed (code 6). c, TAG repurposed (code 16). Overall, analysis of well-annotated genes supported code 16 as the best choice (TAG to X, as X could not be clearly resolved on the basis of sequence alignments with related proteins).
