  1. OF AT BE ARE UNUSUAL ME APE AND BOOK WE UNUSUAL WAS

    From the coding this is what i came up with. You are also missing a letter at the end. Not sure what the sentence was suppose to say.

    1. It was "(start)I think of school and I dream about the monster (stop)". We were told to put something before and after so that whoever tried to decode our strand would have to find where the sentence started. The A at the beginning and the T at the end were there to throw you off. Also that's why it looked why I had missed a letter. That's why I only put two instead of three as to not make it look like another word.

  2. Good code, Zachary. Chris, make sure you review the guidelines and see where you went wrong. Zachary is correct that you got stuck on the random bases and didn't look for the start codon.

    Here is my decode for reference:

    DNA: ATACCAAGTGAGCTGCAGTCAAGTTAGCACCTGGATCT
    RNA: UAUGGUUCACUCGACGUCAGUUCAAUCGUGGACCUAGA
    AUG GUU CAC UCG ACG UCA GUU CAA UCG UGG ACC UAG
    (start) I think about school and I dream about the monster. (stop)
