Oh my. They’re just figuring this out? Some people already did. One was a friend/roomate of mine. But he was not connected enough so was ignored by major publications. This was back in the 1990’s.

After he explained some basics, I filled in some blanks regarding how digital encoding works. He was a genetics nerd. I’m a math nerd. Turns out they overlap.

He did end up getting a PhD based on reverse transcription.

DNA codes, or the genetic code, are made up of the sequence of four nucleotide bases in DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T).

Basically it’s a matching binary code. Aka one strand of DNA seta forth one code and the other sets forth the matching code. Example: 10011100 matches 01100011.

Won’t bother with the links but they define value of point, distance to the next point, and twist/torsion. This is how the code builds proteins.

I’m way over simplifying but that should show the general points.

Sorry no idea why that one binary number showed up as a link. Heck half the time I cannot get something to show as a link when I want it to do so.

Thanks but I’ll wait until Kamala can explain it.
