## TL;DR

This paper explores the relationship between genetic coding and number theory, particularly focusing on p-adic numbers, to provide theoretical insights into genetic information and its translation.

## Contribution

It introduces a novel theoretical approach linking genetic code modeling with number theory, especially p-adic numbers, offering new perspectives in genetic information analysis.

## Key findings

- Connection between genetic code and number theory established
- Role of p-adic numbers in genetic code modeling highlighted
- Theoretical framework proposed for genetic code analysis

## Abstract

Living organisms are the most complex, interesting and significant objects regarding all substructures of the universe. Life science is regarded as a science of the 21st century and one can expect great new discoveries in the near futures. This article contains an introductory brief review of genetic information, its coding and translation of genes to proteins through the genetic code. Some theoretical approaches to the modelling of the genetic code are presented. In particular, connection of the genetic code with number theory is considered and the role of $p$-adic numbers is underlined.
