Abstract
This is an historic occasion. There have been many meetings about the genetic code during the past ten or twelve years but this is the first important one to be held since the code became known. When I came to the States early in 1965 I brought with me tentative allocations for many of the 64 triplets, based mainly on the early work of Leder and Nirenberg, the results from the random polymers and the mutagenesis data. I telephoned Marshall Nirenberg, who told me of his latest allocations. A little later I saw Gobind Khorana and heard the first results he was getting using polymers with repeating sequences. I also visited George Streisinger and was told about the preliminary amino acid sequences due to a phase shift in the phage lysozyme. From all this we were able to work out the meaning of several of the remaining doubtful triplets. By...
