DNA ON A STRING

Turn your first name into DNA sequence using table below. Our Alphabet A B C D E F G H I J K L M Codon N GCC O GCG P TGC Q GAC R GAA S TTC T GGA U CAC V ATA W GGG X AAA Y TTA Z ATG TCG TAC GTT TGG GTC ACG ACC TCC CGG CAG CCC CCG AAC

Now, turn your DNA alias into a bracelet. Scientists have assigned each base of DNA a specific colour. Base colour: A = onyx T = Rose quartz C = Amethyst G = Turquoise Materials: elasticized bead cord, green beads, turquoise bead, grey bead, crystal bead, scissors Step 1:

Cut the elasticized cord into a 16 cm long piece. Knot one end of the cord in order to prevent beads from sliding off. Step 2: Match the first letter of your DNA alias code to the base colour in order to determine the colour of the first bead. Separate each DNA triplet = codon by another knot. Step 3: Connect ends of your DNA bracelet by double knot. Now you are ready to wear your jewellery ;o) !
