For the Protein Synthesis blog post homework, here is my DNA code: TACCAAGTCACGTGCAATACTGAACGTAACGTCAAATCTATC

  1. Hi! I did your code and here is what I got:

    "I eat after school because it is bad to eat in class"

    1. Hello Dante! Yes, that is correct. That is the message I created.

  2. Good decode, Dante. Renee, good coding, but you didn't include the random bases at the beginning and end of the code that was designed to make your decoder look for the start/stop codons, which reflects a more realistic situation that directly compares to how this process actually works in the cell. You make it too easy!

    Here is my decode for reference:

    DNA: TACCAAGTCACGTGCAATACTGAACGTAACGTCAAATCTATC
    RNA/Codons: AUG GUU CAG UGC ACG UUA UGA CUU GCA UUG CAG UUU AGA UAG
    (start) I ate after school because it is bad to eat in class. (stop)

  3. Hello Professor. I did actually put the start and stop codes. (TAC CAAGTCACGTGCAATACTGAACGTAACGTCAAATCT ATC) At the beginning of the code, I put TAC which decoded is AUG and at the end, ATC which decoded is UAG. Dante didn't put the start and stop codes in the message because it probably wouldn't sound right translated.
