Abstract
A map represents a network of relationships among a first set of symbols and a second set of symbols. The first set of symbols can be genetic base codes, which are each one of four types. The second set of symbols can represent the twenty standard amino acids and stops that occur in almost all life on the planet earth. The map can be embedded in computer code, reflected by an electronic database or visually presented on a substrate, which can include color and a dodecahedral logic structure projected onto a globe. The globe can be a sphere, a dodecahedron, an icosahedron, a soccer ball (Archimedian solid), or an equivalent. The network of relationships reflected by the map can be used to decode a sequence of genetic base codes into a sequence of amino acids in a protein.
Claims38
A method of decoding a code having a sequence of symbols, each symbol being from a first set of from 12-23 symbols, comprising the steps of:
- linking the first set of symbols in a network to a second set of at least twenty translated symbols, wherein each member of the first set of symbols is linked to several members of the second set of translated symbols;
- and
- translating the sequence of symbols into a sequence of translated symbols using the network.
A map comprising:
- a first set of symbols and a second set of symbols;
- a set of less than seven members of said second set of symbols being mapped to a set of three members of said first set of symbols;
- and
- relationships between said first and second sets of symbols representing relationships between genetic base codes and amino acids that occur in nature.
A map comprising:
- twenty assignments mapped to subsets of twenty amino acids and stops;
- four of said subsets having a primary pattern;
- twelve of said subsets having a secondary pattern;
- and
- four of said subsets having a tertiary pattern.
A map comprising:
- at least twenty subsets mapped to each other in a network of relationships;
- each of said subsets being representative of one of twenty amino acids and stops;
- and
- at least one of said subsets representing an amino acid corresponding to a plurality of codons.
A map comprising:
- a first set of symbols mapped to a second set of symbols;
- said first set of symbols including less than twenty four members, which are each one of four different types;
- said second set of symbols including at least twenty different members;
- and
- each combination of three members of said first set of symbols being mapped to at least one member of said second set of symbols;
- at least one said combination being mapped to a plurality of different members of said second set of symbols.
A method of determining an assignment relationship between genetic base codes and amino acids, comprising the steps of:
- mapping a network of relationships among genetic base codes and amino acids;
- identifying one of an amino acid and an ordered group of three base codes in said network;
- reading from said network one of, an ordered group of three base codes mapped to said amino acid, and an amino acid mapped to said ordered group of three base codes.
A map comprising:
- genetic base codes arranged in a pattern corresponding to at least a portion of a regular solid;
- and
- amino acids mapped in a predetermined relationship with respect to said genetic base codes such that each ordered combination of three genetic base codes are mapped to one of said amino acids;
- and
- said predetermined relationship reflecting a genetic base code-amino acid assignment relationship that occurs in nature.
