A methane-producing microbe has been caught breaking a fundamental rule of genetics. Credit: Shutterstock One of the most remarkable features of DNA is its precision. Cells read genetic instructions in sets of three letters called codons, and each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid. Those amino acids are linked together in a defined order to build proteins, the molecules that carry out most of life's essential tasks. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have now
