Monte Carlo Simulation and Statistical Analysis of the Effect of Coding Table Specificity on Genetic Information Coding

We present a computer simulation, which is inspired by Penna model, to help understanding the effect of genetic coding tables on population dynamics. To represent populations we used real and artificial gene sequences in this model. We coded these sequences using different amino acid tables in Nature, the standard table as well as the tables which are used by mithocondria and some eukaryotes. Contrary to common belief we find that the standard code table which is used in most organisms in Nature, does not give the most resilient coding against point mutations.

Monte Carlo Simulation and Statistical Analysis of Genetic Information Coding

The rules that specify how the information contained in DNA codes amino acids, is called "the genetic code". Using a simplified version of the Penna nodel, we are using computer simulations to investigate the importance of the genetic code and the number of amino acids in Nature on population dynamics. We find that the genetic code is not a random pairing of codons to amino acids and the number of amino acids in Nature is an optimum under mutations.
