Facile Recoding of Selenocysteine in Nature
Abstract excerpt:

This illustrates the ease by which the genetic code may evolve new coding schemes, possibly aiding organisms to adapt to changing environments, and show the genetic code is much more flexible than previously thought.

My comment: It also refutes the ridiculous theories of neo-Darwinists, by placing ecological variation and ecological adaptation into the context of how nutrient-dependent RNA-mediated events are linked from the innate immune system to the physiology of reproduction and supercoiled DNA that protects the organized genomes of all living genera from virus-driven entropy.

Excerpt:

This finding also illustrates the context-dependency of the genetic code, that accurately “reading” the code (and interpreting DNA sequences) and ultimately “writing” DNA (synthesizing sequences to carry out defined functions in bioenergy or environmental sciences) will require study of the language of DNA past the introductory course level.

See for comparison:

…in the case of higher animals we know the kind of orderliness they feed upon well enough, viz. the extremely well-ordered state of matter in more or less complicated organic compounds, which serve them as foodstuffs. After utilizing it they return it in a very much degraded form -not entirely degraded, however, for plants can still make use of it. (These, of course, have their most power supply of ‘negative entropy’ the sunlight) — Schrodinger (1944) What is Life?

See for comparison:

…genomic conservation and constraint-breaking mutation is the ultimate source of all biological innovations and the enormous amount of biodiversity in this world. In this view of evolution there is no need of considering teleological elements (p. 199). Masatoshi Nei (2013) Mutation-Driven Evolution

My comment: The report on the article that showed deviations in an amino acid’s code can occur naturally was altered to indicate that “…defined functions in bioenergy or environmental sciences) will require study of the language of DNA past the introductory course level.” That fact has been obvious to all serious scientists who ever linked atoms to ecosystems via energy-dependent changes in DNA base pairs. Only biologically uninformed theorists have ever attributed changes in ecosystems to mutations, which exemplify how virus-driven energy theft is linked to all pathology.
