 #What is the relationship between the genetic code and a computer code?
 #* The biggest relationship between the genetic code and a compute code is the fact that you have to "crack it". In order to understand either topics, you have to do a range of research to be able to interpret and tell others. For each, there is a lot of trial and error that is put with it until you finally get it figured out. I never really thought of the genetic code as similar as a computer code, so to really compare the two is really interesting since they are so similar. Each also have a series of letters or in the case of computer coding, numbers and symbols, that are all put together to mean something else and can generate something else.

-#* A. I think that the biggest discovery of my reading came from learning of the history of transcriptome study's in medicine. Specifically, the study of the transcriptome in order to differentiate between acute lymphoblasts and acute myloid cells in order to create different types of treatments for each of the type of B-cell cancers as well as non-Hodgkin lymphoma. This part stood out to me because I have had a family member who was diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma, and so to hear that his treatment was a direct product of the studying of the transcription was a very significant discovery for me.<br>

 #* A. The hardest part of the reading to understand was the Nirenberg reading on deciphering genetic code. The steps that he took to the deciphering of the code were difficult to follow giving the complex wording that he used along with the fact that this was told from a narrative point of view that was very unexpected given the nature of the rest of the readings assigned. The connects between the human information system and computer science/coding systems presented by Moody also seemed far-fetched at times, but I understand what he's conveying.

+==='What is the relationship between the genetic code and a computer code?===
 #* A. Genetic code and computer code are both the transferring of information through two entirely different languages (codons, hormones, nucleotides vs. binary and coding languages). Besides this, both systems create sub units of larger processes that carry out functions. While genetic coding may create proteins for a certain function that may work with other proteins in the body to complete a great task, genetic code uses words and binary to build upon one another and create meaning and purpose for a word/input. Both are incredibly complex systems that work efficiently in the right conditions and work to build larger "bodies" using small subunits (Genetic "body"=Functioning organism using proteins and DNA for the sub units, Computer coding "body"=A website or program using programming lines and processing systems).

 # What is the relationship between the genetic code and a computer code?
 #* Genetic Code and Computer code are both in a way a set of directions for operation. They are both of corse a form of code that for us to understand they need to be translated. Both of these codes are a simple way to carry complex data and allow a system to preform complex multifaceted functions.

−	*	+	*The human body is similar to a computer because our genetic makeup could be broken down into simple bases that create amino acids, which is synonymous with the way coding a computer works. Functions are defined by amino acids that grouped in a certain order to express a certain feature and like in coding language certain words are used to create a certain function to do/express certain features in software. In many ways, genetic code can be used to build a human by describing features and physical appearance and similarly in a computer code software is built on the use of functions working together to make a complex program.

-*One of the biggest discoveries I made is how similar the human body is to a computer.

Functions are defined by amino acids that grouped in a certain order and like in coding language certain words are used to create a certain function.
+*One of the biggest discoveries I made is how the genetic makeup of the human body is based on nucleotides that are arranged in certain patterns that decide our genetic makeup. In a sense, we have all the tools in our body to express the same physical appearances another person has. The defining factor is that the transcriptomes switch on and off the expression of certain genes. It is very fascinating to understand that down to the smallest parts we are the same and if we had the ability to alter our own genetics then we have a possibility to completely change our appearance.

 ===What part of the readings did I understand the least?===
+*Due to my lack of upper-division biology knowledge, I had a difficult time understanding the concept of transcriptomes. From what I have come to understand is that the transcriptomes are responsible for the expression of genes because of its ability to switch on and off. I believe that the transcriptomes do not have any expression.
