Whereas a digital byte is mostly 8 binary digits, a DNA byte (called a codon) has three digits.    From Wordnik.com.  [DNA seen through the eyes of a coder « Isegoria] Reference

It takes three nucleotides (a "codon") to make one amino acid-but which three, and for which amino acids?.    From Wordnik.com.  [Scientific American] Reference

Thus, some nucleotide substitutions change a codon to.    From Wordnik.com.  [Dictionary of the History of Ideas] Reference

But they do not have the same redundancy, and hence robustness against mutation as would a four nucleotide codon code.    From Wordnik.com.  [ID Research, Look to the Example] Reference

It is possible that for any given two species, the wider the evolution distance, the more different codon usage will be.    From Wordnik.com.  [ID Research, Look to the Example] Reference
