Introduction

Codons, or words, are the four letters that make up each of the three-letter words that make up a codon in DNA. The effort of Marshall Nirenberg and his associates at the National Institutes of Health was to translate the genetic code's language. Their meticulous work from the 1960s set the groundwork for deciphering the complete human genome's sequences.
