I'm willing to do this in general, as long as the revision follows *shortly* after the first posting (here, only a few minutes.) Lengthy delays before the revision comes out are unfair to other players, so in those cases I'll judge the first submission. >These are the lines of text of this rule: > >1) all rules shall always have genes and lines of text > >2) all lines of text shall always have an associated gene > >3) a single gene shall always associate with a single line of text > > >These are the genes of this rule: > >1) AGGT TAGAT GGGTGTA > >2) AGTA TAGAT TTTA GGG > >3) TATG GGG TAGGA ATTT TATG GTA > RULE 93:2 (Doug Chatham) INVALID, Style=0.4 INVALID. 93:1 says Rules must have gene*s* and line*s* of text. This has only one of each. (I agonized over whether this is overly picky, but I decided I could not, in good conscience, say that a Rule with one gene had genes.)

However, interpretation of FRC RO's seem to be somewhat less nitpicky than some nomics.) Gene 93:8.1 is identical to 93:7.4, but that have different associated LOT's, which is in violation of 93:1.3.
