+Unusual genetic codes and a novel gene structure for tRNA(AGYSer) in starfish mitochondrial DNA.

SR1 bacteria ([[Campbell and coll, 2013|biblio/23509275]]).
- In the hemichordate _Balanoglossus carnosus_ ([[Castresana and coll.,
1998|biblio/9799263]]): ATA → Ile, AGA → Ser, AGG → ø and AAA → ø.
+ - In echinoderms ([[Himeno and coll., 1987|biblio/3678836]]):
+ AGA, AGG → Ser, ATA → Ile, AAA → Asn.
- _Ciona savignyi_ uses the same mitochodrial genetic code as of other ascidians
studied before ([[Yokobori, Watanabe and Oshima, 2003|biblio/14738316]]).
- [[Pichon, Luscombe and Plessy, 2019|biblio/32148763]] confirms that _O. dioica_'s
