Recommendations

• A methanogen hosted the origin of the genetic code
• The genetic code is not an optimal code in a model taking into account both the biosynthetic relationships between amino acids and their physicochemical properties
• The evolution of the genetic code took place in an anaerobic environment
• Structuring of the genetic code took place at acidic pH
• Evolution of the genetic code based on conservative changes of codons, amino acids, and aminoacyl tRNA synthetases
