 Binary code Genetic code Could someone explain basically how to convert the genetic code into a binary format. I will be working on a genetic theme for MHMNews soon. Thanks for any help you can give. Henry  |

| Re: Binary code Genetic code Easy, there are four possible bases, meaning your binary code would be a 2-digit code. For example: 00 = A 01 = T 10 = C 11 = G Of course, you can use any combination you like. The above system is particularity efficient, as 4 letters can be stored in one byte; normally, 1 byte (8 bits) encodes one letter. Bryan |

| Re: Binary code Genetic code Thanks much Bryan, What I am now wondering about is whether this could help anyone make sense of the arrangement of nucleotides in the different genes. I truly wish I had the time and bux to go to school. Henry |
