User:Jurassic Park Treasury

Hi, I'm Jurassic Park Treasury, which is most certainly not my real name. I'm interested in dinosaurs, and if I get the proper education I'll become a paleontologist. Below this you will find some random notes and other stuff.

I'm interested in the idea of recreating dinosaurs, though I'm not sure if I'll ever get to see anything beyond the Chickenosaurus. I'm pretty sure longevity treatments will be invented in the future, but whether or not I'll have access to them is a matter of debate.

I have decided to delete all of my previous blog posts. Why? Because I think they were stupid.

That's enough info.

Random facts

 * Triceratops is the most common large dinosaur in the Hell Creek Formation.


 * The genome of a marbled lungfish has a size of around 132.83 picogram.


 * Only 55% of Americans are aware that the Sun is a star.

Brachylophosaurus DNA
I found this site that translates protein code into DNA code.

Out of curiosity, I typed in the known Brachylophosaurus protein code for collagen type |, alpha 2 (See Proteins in fossils):

1 gsngepgsag ppgpaglrgl pgesgavgpa gppgsr

And translated it into DNA:

GGNWSNAAYGGNGARCCNGGNWSNGCNGG CCNCCNGGNCCNGCNGGNYTNMGNGGNYT

CCNGGNGARWSNGGNGCNGTNGGNCCNGC GGNCCNCCNGNWSNMG

I then translated the known proteins for collagen type |, alpha 1: 1 gatgapgiag apgfpgargp sgpqgpsgap gpkgvqgppg pqgprgltgp igppgpagap 61 gdkgeagpsg ppgptgargs agppgatgfp gaagrgetgp agpagppgpa gar Into DNA: GGNGCNACNGGNGCNCCNGGNATHGCNGG GCNCCNGGNTTYCCNGGNGCNMGNGGNCC WSNGGNCCNGGNGGNCCNWSNGGNGCNCC GGNCCNAARGGNGTNGGNGGNCCNCCNGG CCNCARGGNCCNMGNGGNYTNACNGGNCC ATHGGNCCNCCNGGNCCNGCNGGNGCNCC GGNGAYAARGGNGARGCNGGNCCNWSNGG CCNCCNGGNCCNACNGGNGCNMGNGGNWS GCNGGNCCNCCNGGNGCNACNGGNTTYCC GGNGCNGCNGGNMGNGGNGARACNGGNCC GCNGGNCCNGCNGGNCCNCCNGGNCCNGC GGNGCNMG
