Many eukaryotes use non-standard codes to translate mitochondrial genes. Most fungi, including Candida albicans and related species, use "Translation table 4: The Mold, Protozoan, and Coelenterate Mitochondrial Code and the Mycoplasma/Spiroplasma Code", while Saccharomyces and closely related species (including Candida glabrata) use "Translation table 3: The Yeast Mitochondrial Code."
For a complete description of all the translation tables, see NCBI's Genetic Codes page.
The table below shows the nuclear and mitochondrial codes for all organisms available at CGD, as well as some other common organisms.
