The article explains to some extent how Condylostoma works in regards to stop codons - see the next quote from the article in May 2022:

"The question then becomes how does Condylostoma stop translation? The answer seems to be that these codons can function both as stop codons and as normal amino acid encoders. In this case whether or not translation is ended seems to be dependent on the location of the “stop codon” in the transcript and how close they are to the 3’ end of the mRNA." Firstly, I'd like to suggest that at the least one scientific article is referred to here. Right now there is no citation.

But even mor eimportant than that, readers still do not fully understand how this works, so I would recommend to explain this with some more words. We all learned how stop codons terminate transcription, so evidently even Condylostoma must have working stop codons, and the article mentions that - but how **exactly** these are interpreted correctly is not really explained, it only makes a reference that proximity is important for context-evaluation (e. g. stop codon or regular amino acid incorporation). 2A02:8388:1600:A200:3AD5:47FF:FE18:CC7F (talk) 16:49, 6 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
