  1. Okay so after spending a hour trying to decode your post,I have two assumptions of what it might be. If these are your sentences i'm going to have to put "AS IS" because they were really hard to read once decoded. Maybe I'm missing a ing, ed, or tion to one of these words.

    1) Time Because class us an for it anthropology at time about confusing.

    2) An sleepy is animals be hungry school you of twist.

    Please tell me Its one of these. Great job at hiding it really had to work for what i found. I have a feeling the correct post is going to be a combination of both of these. If i had to pick one of these to go with I would pick the first guess because i got that one three times while trying to decode.

    1. OKAY! So...the one mistake I did make (just realized) is that I did not have a Start Codon [AUG] or End Codon [UAG]...totally forgot to add those in. Though, I did recheck my original work, and the correct sentence is "Students are hungry because class is after sleep time".

      My DNA, as posted, and without any extra letters at the start and finish is..

      TAA GAG CTT AAT TCT GAA ACG GTA TAT

      My RNA, after decoding, is....

      AUU CUC GAA UUA AGA CUU UGC CAU AUA

      Check that again and see if I made any other mistakes...and great job!

    2. P.S. I have since edited the post to include both the Start Codon and the End Codon

    3. Vicious Venom: Good attempt with the decode, particularly since you were trying to do it without the proverbial "net", i.e., start/stop codons. That makes it just about impossible to do. It would have been helpful to PAS if you had explained this error, however. It shouldn't have been quite this "hidden" for you and that was his primary error.

      PAS: Good response to VV with lots of detail. I would have preferred that you NOT change your code, but I do appreciate that you noted the change in your comments. That seemed to be your only error here. Thank you as well for the message to Elizabeth (below). I've emailed her to let her know that she still needs to do a decode for credit.

      Here is my decode (of the edited code):

      DNA: ATATTACTAAGAGCTTAATTCTGAAACGGTATATATCCGCG
      RNA: UAUAAUGAUUCUCGAAUUAAGACUUUGCCAUAUAUAGGCGC
      Codons: UG AUU CUC GAA UUA AGA CUU UGC CAU AUA UAG
      (start) Students are hungry because class is after sleep time. (stop)

  2. Decoding your post was a bit of a challenge. I separated the DNA sequence into groups (3 letters each) to make it easier to decode and understand. Once I translated the first few, I was able to get the first few words. I got stumbled upon your DNA sequence because it seems you're missing a letter.

    Original DNA sequence: ATA TTA AGA GCT TAA TTC TGA AAC GGT ATA TCG CG
    *the last part (CG) is missing a letter

    Transcribed RNA sequence: AUA UUA AGA GCU UAA UUC UGA AAC GGU AUA UCG CG

    Once I figured out the sequence, I matched up the words and I developed this sentence.

    "Time because class us an for it anthropology at time about ....."

    I wasn't able to figure out the last word but since its category is CG, I narrowed it down to the four words available: learn, twist, evolve or adapt.

    1. Hey Elizabeth, make sure that you post to someone else's DNA post so that you get credit. "Vicious" posted first, so they will get credit! Just looking out!
