Gee, I saw the yellow right away...
Ring DNA? Cool! But doesn't it need and end to begin translation and
transcription?

    Should only need a marker, think 4D...

Hi,

the files size is well balanced by your sens of humour ! ;-)

Mmmm... Looks like candy... Crunch... Mmmmm... Sorry hope you still have
the code for that one... =) <Genome w/ a big byte>

Thus the apologies to Crick and Watson for my complete bastardisation of the
genetic code ;-P

Hmmm... look again my friend.

All right that does it.. you can all expect another post when once I learn
more about DNA...

AFAIR from my biochem lessons, all bacteria have circular DNA, and the 
transcription proteins use a specific sequence of base pairs to define 
start and end points.

And start and end points are not required, as all you need is a promoter 
sequence for the RNA polymerase to bind to, and a termination sequence to 
tell the RNA polymerase to stop.

Oh, and for Karl Pelzer, Adenine always binds to Thymine (in DNA) or 
Uracil (In RNA), and Cytosine always binds to Guanine.

Bye for now,
     Jamie.
