This article details the pioneering work of Nirenberg and Matthaei to decipher the RNA molecules that carry cellular blueprints, and reports "the enigma of genetic coding, considered a fundamental secret to life, may be on the verge of solution." A photograph of Nirenberg working out genetic coding units is included along with visual representations of RNA sequences.
