@JimCarolanMU Cheers Jim! Reassignments seem to be very rare across eukaryotes but this particular protist phylum is an outlier with about 10 different genetic code variants!

We show that UAA is firmly fixed as the preferred stop codon in this lineage In taxa with variant genetic codes, UAG is used in most genes (>78% of genes) suggesting its function is fixed as a sense codon A divergence to previous variants where UAA and UAG have the same meaning
