A novel nuclear genetic code alteration in yeasts and the evolution of codon reassignment in eukaryotes

The paper identifies a novel sense codon reassignment in Pachysolen tannophilus, where CUG is translated as alanine instead of leucine, and proposes a tRNA loss-driven mechanism for this genetic code alteration.
