    Yeah, I like that idea better. Reformatted it again.

    I modified it, and included a table similar to this one as the test case and added a blurb about them reproducing at the end of the month. Let me know it it still needs to be cleared up more.

    I have that one written, but didn't have time to finish the test cases yesterday! Oh well, you beat me to it. :(

    Is your objection the name or the kata?

    The kata is about exponential growth rather than linear growth.
    Fn=F(n-1)+F(n-2) is part of the answer but it's not the whole answer.

    I figured this one was different, I'll delete if it's been done before.

    I'm doing it right now, it might just be taking forever on my end.

    I will put that in the description, I plan on making a more complicated kata that includes invalid sequences and those with base pair totals not divisible by 3.

    -Fixed the test case quotes error
    -Organized by describe and it
    -Will add more test cases when I have time, possibly later today
    -I have no plans for edge cases in this kata, I intend to make another one that goes all the way from DNA to protein and requires the presence of the 'Start' codon Methionine ('M') to begin transcription, that will have invalid inputs

    As far as the starting dictionary, I'm struggling with how to present that. I don't want to just include the dictionary as starting code but I realize its cumbersome to input as well.

    I'm in the process of doing it lol. I'm fixing it at work, will take me a little bit of time. Most of it is hammered out already.

    I have some free time, I might add a few from Rosalind as well. Unfortunately I haven't gotten very far in them but some certainly are challenging.

    I disagree, the concent is similar however my purpose is to add some bioinformatics katas. This conversion produces a biologically distinct molecule. Additionally, the complementary DNA kata is slightly incorrect in that it doesn't require the reverse complement. RNA transcription doesn't require that step. This is simpler and different in my opinion.

    By convention, in biology DNA is read from a specific direction. The 5' end of the bases is assumed to be on the left, and the 3' on the right. Therefore when DNA is translated from a single strand of bases like in this kata the result is reversed, ie the 3' would be on the left and 5' on the right. I'd suggest adding a component to this that requires the solution to be the reverse complement. Otherwise it would be great to see more bioinformatics katas!
