    And what are we supposed to do with this? Genetic code?

    !! what would /could we do with this? you ask??? whoa......weellllllllll.....well, well...


    well, you could build your very own yeast for fun and profit with this genetic code...yes, indeedy. (that's what the code is for, btw.., weird, huh?)

    Is this the "complete" code?

    That thing's got fucking impressive compression if so.

    And I mean... something totally unknown to us.

    This is not the complete code. As you can plainly read, it is the tRNA genes of a mitochondrion.

    The smallest genome is 580,000 base pairs long:

    http://www.er.doe.gov/feature_articles_2001/June/Decades/77.html

    This is about 145 kilobytes of information (assuming 2 bits per base pair, since there are 4 possible bases). Obviously, viral genomes are smaller, but they are not capable of self-reproduction.

    ***no, kidding?? and, no, it's the rRNA. not the tRNA. but, anyways...you really think i'm gonna post the whole transcription/encoding here???? i'll have you know that is my secret recipe for making my very tasty home-made bread. when i say i make everything from scratch...i mean it!

    Even so, a very impressive compression scheme.

    I thought you were making reference to the movie Gattaca. Ahhh....I see the correlation now....

    reply to pumpkin

    merely FYI,

    the sequence you posted is the cytochrome B gene from the mitochondrial genome, which is flanked by tRNA genes t-thr and t-pro and a 12s ribosomal gene

    are you sure...? are you sure you know which strain i am speaking of?

    Paul

    btw....what if i told you it was actually located on the 12S rRNA gene??

    What are you talking about?? There is no compression in gene sequences. Nucleotide triplets are translated directly to amino acid sequences which curl up to form proteins. It's a pretty direct encoding.

    reply to pumpkin???

    what the heck you talkling about??!!!??

    what strain??!!

    the sequence clearly states "W.makrii mitochondrial CYTB and tRNA genes."

    What is on the 12S rRNA gene????

    You have no idea what you're talking about.

    The best thing to do here is listen and learn and ask questions.

    relax, dude.....it was a joke...i was just yanking your chain a bit with the 12S rRNA thing...that's a gene from a frog of some sorts...jeeze. i just wanted you to come back and post...and, you didn't...so, i kept on yanking yer chain....

    and, lo and behold you came back!!!! yay!!!

    ...and, just for the record...i'd better know what i'm talking about ...i tutor biology and micro-biology - yeah, i majored in it in college. but, i'm sure you are much more knowledgeable with its parameters than i could ever hope to be.
