III. Jones & Nirenberg (1962) Survey of RNA codewords

A. How far have you gotten in Jones & Nirenberg (1962) (and its companion)?
The Alien Genetic Code simulation?

B. Consider how comfortable you are with the following topics regarding these matters:

• The overall goal of the work by Nirenberg and others
   
• The specific focus of Jones & Nirenberg (1961)
   
• The nature of the experiment
   
• The nature of RNA produced by polynucleotide phosphorylase
   
• Theoretical expectations of experiment J108, Table 3
   
• Interpretation of Table 3
   
• How in principle to deduce the alien genetic code
   
• How to use Alien Genetic Code within BioBIKE
