GeneticCode is a handy reference tool for students and researches. The application visualizes standard genetic code as well as provides information about 20 amino acids and their abbreviations. The codon table is represented in four different ways: * Codon Picker -- allows you to select a particular codon to see the name and structure of the corresponding amino acid. You can see amino acid properties by clicking on the amino acid structure. * Codon Table -- table representation of the codon table * Codon Circle -- circular representation of the codon table (a little bit unusual, but pretty) * Codon Alignment -- contains additional information about initiation (start) codons === Following information about each amino acid is provided: * Chemical structure * Three letter and one letter abbreviations * All codons that encode the amino acid * Polarity * Side chain charge (neutral, positive, negative) * pH (acidic or basic) * Chemical formula of the side chain * Aromatic or aliphatic * Essential * Small * Polar * Hydrophobic * Hydropathy * Molecular weight (MW) * Isoelectric Point (pI) * pK1 (-COOH) * pK2 (+NH3) * pKa * reference to Wikipedia ==== "Amino Acid and Nucleotide Codes" reference tool contains 26 amino acid and 16 nucleotide codes (abbreviations). This includes the following non-standard/degenerate codes: R Purine (A or G) Y Pyrimidine (C or T) N Any nucleotide W Weak (A or T) S Strong (G or C) M Amino (A or C) K Keto (G or T) B Not A (G or C or T) H Not G (A or C or T) D Not C (A or G or T) V Not T (A or G or C) Asx B Asn or Asp Glx Z Gln or Glu Xle J Leu or Ile Sec U Selenocysteine (UGA) Pyl O Pyrrolysine (UAG) Unk X Unknown ==== Amino Acid Venn Diagram shows classification of all amino acids by physical/chemical properties on a single picture.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Biology Knowledge Quiz at 4.7 against Genetic Code's 4.0. Biology Knowledge Quiz also leads on ratings volume (157 vs 6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Genetic Code's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Biology Knowledge Quiz sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Genetic Code asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Biology Knowledge Quiz holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Biology Knowledge Quiz has 157 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Genetic Code's written reviews are positive against 43% of Biology Knowledge Quiz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Genetic Code ships an update every 2 months, Biology Knowledge Quiz every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 7, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
