Inferring the ancient history of the translation machinery and genetic code via recapitulation of ribosomal subunit assembly orders.

Inferring the ancient history of the translation machinery and genetic code via recapitulation of ribosomal subunit assembly orders.

Universally conserved positions in ribosomal proteins have significant biases in amino acid usage, likely indicating the expansion of the genetic code at the time leading up to the most recent common ancestor(s) (MRCA). Here, we apply this principle to the evolutionary history of the ribosome before...
