Re: [CipherChallenge] Genome Cipher?

Nothing other than that it would be somewhat inelegant to just dump a bunch
of codons into the source code and leave it at that. Wishful thinking,
maybe!?

Is the sequence long enough to actually code for a protein? Maybe job
applicants are supposed to name the protein...

A'a

Hey everybody, long time, no key. So, I was looking at the web site of a company called 23andme.com. This page http://www.23andme.com/jobs.html gives a hint... 		Alexandra Fiona Dixon

No, it doesn't. But the surface page says to be re-source-ful (source is in italics)...and it's the only thing that seems at all covert on the page. The...

Hi Alexandra, Well, if it is indeed a cipher (has that been established?) it would seem to me that your first steps have been sensible and correct, ie 1) look...

Alexandra, Oh! There are 637 letters, not 636! So surely this just about rules out a cipher made up of codons....? Tim ________________________________ From:...

Oh, you're right! How did I miss that? Well, maybe it would be worthwhile to start building codons from the 2nd position. Nope, tried that. And third. ... ...

Hi Alexandra, Yes, I think it's far more likely to be a repeating 29-amino acid peptide, or something (I'm trying to sound knowedgable here) rather than a...

And the answer is: It's DNA from human chromosome 11. Each segment is expanded by two markers with the rest repeating. Sorry, but no secret code... John ... ...

Don't know how she identified it. I'll ask her. She knew all about 23andme and someone who had registered his DNA there. As for the entire genome, I don't...
