Figure 2. An 8 × 8 square representation of the genetic code.

Figure 2

Adapted from reference 6, this representation places the hydrophobic amino acids within the central square. Asterisks indicate stop codons, as before, with a dashed square marking the start codon. The order of appearance of codons in this representation is indicated by a number in each square—these numbers appear in other figures for comparison. doi:10.5048/BIO-C.2012.2.f2
