Can someone with an AAAS membership please post the full article? https://www.sciencemag.org/content/342/6164/1367.full.pdf $20 for one day access! Fucking obscene. I should join AAAS, it is only $50 for the year, but I can't swing it just now.

The second code is: Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A

Comments like this encourage me to write more quality posts so I can get downvote rights. Sorry.

Why hate? Why wish downvoting? His comment will get buried down while more informative comments bubble to the top. Personally, I found his comment funny and I also learned about Konami codes, which I knew nothing about. So it satisfied my intellectual curiosity :)

TL;DR for biologists: synonymous codon variation is heavily constrained by the need to maintain transcription factor binding motifs.

While I found the article very interesting as a new postgraduate student, it seems like such a straightforward deduction that I find it difficult to believe no one has ever put it into words until now.
