Proteinogenic amino acids that are not part of the genetic code, e.g. the 21st amino acid selenocysteine and the 22nd amino acid pyrrolysine are also subjects of Recoding.[11] John Atkins is an active proponent of the RNA World hypothesis and is an editor of The RNA World and RNA Worlds books.[12][13][14] His research activities include a search for modern protein-free RNA-based life forms.[15] In 2013 John Atkins organized installation of Charles Jencks sculpture ?What is Life? in Irish National Botanic Gardens.[16] References1. ^[https://archive.is/20130217232719/http://www.ria.ie/About/Our-Work/Grants---Awards/Gold-Medal-Award/past.aspx] 2. ^{{cite thesis|degree=PhD|first=Arthur |last=Coakley|authorlink=Arthur Coakley|title=Genetic decoding dynamics: from its exploitation to enhance or rescue gene expression to a search for relevance for early evolution|publisher=University College Cork|year=2016|url=https://cora.ucc.ie/handle/10468/4547}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/science/a-traffic-jam-that-puts-the-brakes-on-protein-production-1.3364013|title=A ‘traffic jam’ that puts the brakes on protein production|publisher=Irish Times}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.siliconrepublic.com/innovation/item/2088-sfi-attracts-leading-biosci |title=SFI attracts leading bioscientist from US - Innovation | siliconrepublic.com - Ireland's Technology News Service |website=Siliconrepublic.com |date= |accessdate=2016-04-09}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ria.ie/about/Membership/Member-List.aspx |title=Archived copy |accessdate=November 30, 2012 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130101021939/http://www.ria.ie/about/Membership/Member-List.aspx |archivedate=January 1, 2013 }} 6. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.ucd.ie/research/newsevents/newsarchive/newsarchive2007/mainbody,7493,en.html |title=Archived copy |accessdate=November 3, 2012 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121203221732/http://www.ucd.ie/research/newsevents/newsarchive/newsarchive2007/mainbody%2C7493%2Cen.html |archivedate=December 3, 2012 |df= }} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.tcd.ie/Genetics/staff.php |title=Archived copy |accessdate=November 3, 2012 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121010001601/http://www.tcd.ie/Genetics/staff.php |archivedate=October 10, 2012 }} 8. ^Riyasaty S, Atkins JF.
