The genetic code is one of the greatest discoveries of the 20th century as it is central to life itself. It is the algorithm that connects 64 RNA triplets to 20 amino acids, thus functioning as the Rosetta Stone of molecular biology. Following the discovery of the structure of DNA by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953, George Gamow organized the 20-member "RNA Tie Club" to discuss the transmission of information by DNA. Crick, Sydney Brenner, Leslie Barnett, and Richard Watts-Tobin first demonstrated the three bases of DNA code for one amino acid. The decoding of the genetic code was begun by Marshall Nirenberg and Heinrich Matthaei and was completed by Har Gobind Khorana. Then, finally, Brenner, Barnett, Eugene Katz, and Crick placed the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle of life by proving that UGA was a third stop codon. In the mid-1960s, Carl Woese proposed the "stereochemical hypothesis", which speculated that the genetic code derives from a type of codon-amino acid-pairing interaction. The origin and evolution of the genetic code remains a mystery despite numerous theories and attempts to understand these. In this Special Issue, experts in the field present their thoughts and views on this topic. Because 2016 commemorated the 100th anniversary of the birth of Francis Crick, the Guest Editor of this Special Issue also dedicates all articles included herein to the memory of Francis Crick.

Early Thoughts on RNA and the Origin of Life The full impact of the essential role of the nucleic acids in biological systems was forcefully demonstrated by the research community in the 1950s. Although Avery and his collaborators had identified DNA as the genetic material responsible for the transformation of bacteria in 1944, it was not until the early 1950s that the Hershey-Chase experiments provided a more direct demonstration of this role. Finally, the structural DNA double helix proposed by Watson and Crick in 1953 clearly created a structural frame work for the role of DNA as both information carrier and as a molecule that could undergo the necessary replication needed for daughter cells. Research continued by Kornberg and his colleagues in the mid-1950s emphasized the biochemistry and enzymology of DNA replication. At the same time, there was a growing interest in the role of RNA. The 1956 dis covery by David Davies and myself showed that polyadenylic acid and polyuridylic acid could form a double-helical RNA molecule but that it differed somewhat from DN A A large number of experiments were subsequendy carried out with synthetic polyribonucleotides which illustrated that RNA could form even more complicated helical structures in which the specificity of hydrogen bonding was the key element in determining the molecular conformation. Finally, in I960,1 could show that it was possible to make a hybrid helix.

The genetic code was deciphered experimentally around 1966 and for a number of years scientists considered it to be "universal" for all forms of life. In 1981 researchers shocked the scientific community with the discovery that the code differed in mitochondria and certain other organisms, evidence that the genetic code was still evolving. This book discusses the distribution and origin of the non-universal codes and examines the possible mechanisms of code changes, making it essential reading for all those interested in evolutionary genetics.

The precise mechanisms underlying the evolution of the genetic code have eluded researchers for decades. The structure and order of the code suggests a biological, chemical, or physical impetus directing the codon assignments, however these forces remain mysterious. In addition, other forces continue to shape the code, generating natural and unnatural variants of the canonical genetic code. My work is split between these two distinct avenues or research : 1) Statistical evidence from ribosome structures suggests that a certain subset of amino acids were assigned to their codons via a stereochemical interaction with their respective anticodons. In addition, a novel in vivo system relying on the ambiguous decoding of isoleucine in E. coli suggests that mRNA sequence context outside of the A-site can influence tRNA selection in the ribosome. The underlying mechanism for this influence may be rooted in stereochemical interactions, as anticodons dominate these contextual moieties. 2) Variant codes can give valuable and rare insights into the continued evolution of the genetic code. Mimicking these types of variation in the lab will grant a valuable tool for this field, however full reassignment has yet to be achieved. Two E. coli strains were generated (JX1.0 and JX3.0) that harbor no genomic copy of release factor one. The UAG codon is now nonsense in these strains, and no longer encodes for a stop signal. In addition, the expression of an unnatural suppression system leads to efficient suppression of the UAG with an unnatural amino acid, and represents the first engineered organism harboring such a reassignment. Suppression of multiple UAG codons in a single protein is efficient and overcomes a major technological hurdle in the field. These advances will leave a lasting imprint on these fields, and will help to further understand the evolution of the genetic code. In addition, the novel techniques, strains, and findings described herein may help to answer many remaining questions regarding both the early and late events in the evolution of the genetic code.
