And actually, even the redundancy is not complete. A recent paper showed that seemingly "redundant" variations of triplets led to a slightly different 3D folding structure of the DNA, with effects on the physiology of the cell.
- sciencerobot 11y agodid the have an effect on the translated amino acid sequence or translation? Do you have a reference?

It's not the DNA's structure that is changed, it's the resulting protein's. (Different codons slightly alter the rate of translation, leading to a different folding of the protein.)
- sciencerobot 11y agoThanks for replying with the reference. That is very interesting
