Standard codon code [no.1]
By default all transl_table in GenBank flatfiles are equal to id 1, and this is not shown. When transl_table is not equal to id 1, it is shown as a qualifier on the CDS feature.

Alternative Initiation Codons
In rare cases, translation in eukaryotes can be initiated from codons other than AUG. A well documented case (including direct protein sequencing) is the GUG start of a ribosomal P protein of the fungus Candida Candida albicans 1) and the GUG initiation in mammalian NAT1 2). Other examples can be found in the following references 3). The standard code currently allows initiation from UUG and CUG in addition to AUG.
