Metagenomic findings suggesting that bacteriophages (phages) can use genetic codes different from those of their host bacteria reveal a new dimension of phage-host interaction dynamics. Whereas reassignment of stop codons to code for amino acids has been predicted, there has been no proteomic validation of alternative coding in phages. In fact, one code where the stop codon TAG is reassigned to glutamine (code 15) has never been experimentally validated in any biological system. Here, we characterized stop codon reassignment in two crAss-like phages found in the human gut microbiome using LC-MS/MS-based metaproteomics. The proteome data from several phage structural proteins clearly demonstrates reassignment of the TAG stop codon to glutamine, establishing for the first time the expression of genetic code 15.

The genetic code has been proposed to be a 'frozen accident', but the discovery of alternative genetic codes over the past four decades has shown that it can evolve to some degree. Since most examples were found anecdotally, it is difficult to draw general conclusions about the evolutionary trajectories of codon reassignment and why some codons are affected more frequently. To fill in the diversity of genetic codes, we developed Codetta, a computational method to predict the amino acid decoding of each codon from nucleotide sequence data. We surveyed the genetic code usage of over 250,000 bacterial and archaeal genome sequences in GenBank and discovered five new reassignments of arginine codons (AGG, CGA, and CGG), representing the first sense codon changes in bacteria. In a clade of uncultivated Bacilli, the reassignment of AGG to become the dominant methionine codon likely evolved by a change in the amino acid charging of an arginine tRNA. The reassignments of CGA and/or CGG were found in genomes with low GC content, an evolutionary force which likely helped drive these codons to low frequency and enable their reassignment.

In human body genetic codes are stored in the genes. All of our inherited traits are associated with these genes and are grouped as structures generally called chromosomes. In typical cases, each cell consists of 23 pairs of chromosomes, out of which each parent contributes half. But if a person has a partial or full copy of chromosome 21, the situation is called Down syndrome. It results in intellectual disability, reading impairment, developmental delay, and other medical abnormalities. There is no specific treatment for Down syndrome. Thus, early detection and screening of this disability are the best styles for down syndrome prevention. In this work, recognition of Down syndrome utilizes a set of facial expression images. Solid geometric descriptor is employed for extracting the facial features from the image set. An AdaBoost method is practiced to gather the required data sets and for the categorization. The extracted information is then assigned and used to instruct the Neural Network using Backpropagation algorithm. This work recorded that the presented model meets the requirement with 98.67% accuracy.
