DNA May Carry Three Overlapping Layers of Information, Study Proposes

A Zenodo article proposes that DNA carries three overlapping information layers: one that specifies amino acids, another that affects how quickly proteins are made and folded, and a third linked to molecular stability and helix shape. An analysis of five human genes found broad compositional patterns at sites where the code allows multiple DNA sequences, with BRCA1 as a reported exception.
