  2. Good decode, James Bond!

    Jamie, you made some corrections on your code. The original was missing the random bases and the stop codon. These changes didn't seem to impact your decoder, so it wasn't really a problem. Good corrections.

    Here is my decode for reference. I've included my first decode of your original code and my second decode of your corrected code:

    Original:
    DNA: TACATTTCAGCAAACGGCCCGTAACCGCATAGTCAA
    RNA/Codons: AUG UAA AGU CGU UUG CCG GGC AUU GGC GUA UCA GUU
    (start) An ape learn(s) to study like students like you and I.

    Corrected:
    DNA: ACCTACATTTCAGCAAACGGCCCGTAACCGCATAGTCAAATCCUU
    RNA: UGGAUGUAAAGUCGUUUGCCGGGCAUUGGCGUAUCAGUUUAGGAA
    Codons: AUG UAA AGU CGU UUG CCG GGC AUU GGC GUA UCA GUU UAG
    (start) An ape learn(s) to study like students like you and I. (stop)

    1. Thank you Professor!

      I appreciate the feedback, yes I kept remembering certain things I left out and did a few updates, Thank you for letting me know it didn't impact the decode as well as okaying my corrections. :)
