I made a program that translates DNA sequences into binary as part of a project I'm starting for some bioinformatics-related personal studies. Interestingly, as the human genome stands, we are about all about 1.6 gigabytes of zeros and ones. Pretty damn cool. Here's a sample of the output of the program, showing part of the 1st chromosome of the human genome represented fully in binary: [img267.imageshack.us]

Hitting just the right nerve. Genius. ____________ And that is freaking cool, JosephAnthony!

identityunknown member Adam Jones-in-training. Joined: 11/23/08 Location: earth. i think. Posts: 652	cool. But there are four possible nucleotide pairs you know taht right? C/G and G/C are different, they produce a different codon. for example, the amino acid that comes out of the RNA codon "GAU" (DNA sequence "CTA" is different from the amino acid from "CAU" (DNA= "GTA". So i suppose A/T could be 001, C/G could be 010, T/A could be 011, and G/C could be 100... But if you only care about which pair it is, by all means 0's and 1's work. It would be awesome to have a binary file of my own DNA.

I realized the effect this song has in me when I talked about it to my sister, I explained the meaning of the lyrics to her (I translated it cause she can't talk English) and I started to cry.

Actually, I was thinking about NIN member 'identityunknown' post about the math to the song. Not your relation to the song. My apologies sweetie. I would never haze or speak negatively about emotional connection to a song. Never. Especially towards friend.Neva.
