Trematode mitochondrial code

The trematode mitochondrial code (translation table 21) is a genetic code found in the mitochondria of Trematoda.

Systematic range and comments

gollark: Oh, right, the active coolers, forgot about those.
gollark: I have everything wired up now, time to start it!
gollark: Now to hook up a powercell and/or hope that 30kRF/t is enough to run the magnets and turn this on.
gollark: Anyway, I got it working, by running a cable to the other side.
gollark: I'm using resonant and signalum fluxducts, because DE is evil.
