Quick Summary

The researchers working on this project are from the Western Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry. To make their findings clear I will compare them with something familiar. Consider any translation app that you use on your smartphone. Now, imagine there is an error in its software programing that regulates the input and output in the app. This error is such that it affects the output even if the input is correct. To put it bluntly, you write white and it translates the word for wheat. Translated into scientific terms the researchers claim that tRNA can have mutations that affect how the code is read. This, in turn, influences the protein formation in our organisms.
