    public class RareAminoAcid
    extends Marker
    Rare amino acid annotation: These are amino acids that occurs very rarely in an organism. For instance, humans are supposed to use 20 amino acids, but there is also one rare AA. Selenocysteine, single letter code 'U', appears roughly 100 times in the whole genome. The amino acid is so rare that usually it does not appear in codon translation tables. It is encoded as UGA, which , under normal conditions, is a STOP codon. Secondary RNA structures are assumed to enable this special translation.
