Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

AS REPORTEDno primary record reached; this is what the reporting says

Is it true that essential amino acids are encoded by specific genetic codons?

Yes. Standard molecular biology reference texts establish that amino acids are incorporated into proteins via translation from mRNA, where specific nucleotide triplets (codons) encode specific amino acids.
