  1. i think this says start codon" Students are studying animal books"? i was a little confused as there is an mrna in your dna code.

    mrna: AUG AUU CUC CUG AAU AUC

  2. Serendipity, I'll provide you with some feedback.

    Good catch on the uracils in the code! It did make it difficult to code. Usually I will consider the uracils to be thymines and code as per the regular rules, and this produced a sentence that made sense. Good attempt.

    Nat94, other than the uracils in your DNA (you only find those in RNA), this was also well short of the 8-word minimum. Also missing the random bases at the beginning and end of the code.

    Here is my decode for reference:

    DNA: TACTAAGAGCUGTTAAUC
    RNA: TACTAAGAGCUGTTAAUC
    Codons: AUG AUU CUC GAC AAU UAG
    (start) Students are unusual animals. (stop)
