Peritrich nuclear code
{{Short description|An alternative genetic code found in the nuclear genome of some ciliates}}
The peritrich nuclear code (translation table 30) is a genetic code used by the nuclear genome of the peritrich ciliates Vorticella and Opisthonecta.{{Cite journal|last1=Sánchez-Silva|first1=Rocı́o|last2=Villalobo|first2=Eduardo|last3=Morin|first3=Loı̈c|last4=Torres|first4=Antonio|year=2003|title=A New Noncanonical Nuclear Genetic Code|journal=Current Biology|volume=13|issue=5|pages=442–447|doi=10.1016/s0960-9822(03)00126-x|pmid=12620196|s2cid=17484731|doi-access=free}}
