| Abstract: | This article is a review of the rules used by eucaryotic cells to translate a nuclear messenger RNA into a polypeptide chain. The recent observation that these rules are not identical in two species of a same phylum indicates that they have changed during the course of evolution. Possible scenarios for such changes are presented. |
