Codon Chart

Announcing Codon Chart: A table of what codons code for

This is a custom augmented table to show how DNA specifies proteins. The four different bases, on RNA, in triplets specify an amino acid. The code is redundant - several codon choices code for the same amino acid. This table is a 2D presentation of a 3D grid. The augmented features it has suggest ideas for a general purpose table widget

This chart is also showing the help feature, available from the hamburger menu.

Current Status

This is one of those small projects I want to let sit for a while. It was made at around the same time as the Hertzsprung–Russell Diagram , when I was considering heat maps. This is a grid one may want to show other data on, such as relative populations of different kinds of tRNA.

Claude made this in a single session. I added the help manually, but doing that is largely mechanical and could be automated.
