Problem:
As I know three nucleotide pairs (triplus) code one gene. But I have found next information in the "Molecular biology of the cell" by Bruce Alberts:
Mycoplasma genitalium: it has only about 480 genes in its genome of 580 070 nucleotide pairs.
But 480 genes * 3 ~ 1500 nucleotide pairs.
Where I have made mistake ? Please tell me and provide some knowledge about it.
