Sorry for the delayed reply, but I studied in this field as welll, so curious why you thought CRISPR would be associated with viruses over bacteria or even mold/yeast?

It’s great for emails on account’s where they know you, like banks and doctors offices. It also lets you make em up on the fly instead of using the site or app. I’ve never had spam issues, but it does make the email less anonymous. So it’s a situational thing, but nice to just use DDS@xyz.abc when at the dentist or whatever.
Only portions of the code are published while the rest is kept under wraps. Classic corporate America bs finding a loop hole to use a trendy term.
Just to be clear, Gemma is only partially open sourced in select area’s of the code.
Ok, interesting, thanks for the correction. Do you think rephrasing my statement and stating Linus’s kernel is more adaptive would be more accurate?
It was revolutionary when it was first isolated from bacteria. Always fascinating to me that it’s pretty much the bacterial adaptive immune system. Now it’s awesome seeing other scientists dial in the precision of an already game changing advancement.
Stallman’s attempt to rename Linux to incorporate the GNU name not happening was frustrating on his end it seems. Everytime someone calls their system a Linux based OS and not GNU/Linux based OS downplays the work he put in. However, Linus’s kernel was more elaborate than GNU Hurd, so it was incorporated. It’s said Stallman is a visionary, while Linus is a programist. While there’s never been any display of tension in a back and forth between them online, it’s always seemed to me they appreciate and also despise various aspects of each another.
Oh, the leading scientific hub worldwide doing scientific research brings you dismay? Must suck to hear anything science related then…
While it’s not an eReader, Alexandria in F-Droid is amazing. It allows you to download books from LibGen as well as convert the books into a different format if needed for whatever eReader you select. Definitely a nice app to pair with your new eReader!
Well, only very specific viruses entry the nucleus, most often due to not bringing along enzymes needed for replication. Then, there’s transducing viruses and non-transducing viruses, of which only one will retain it’s genome in the host genome. Both occur near oncogenic gene locations too, which is why viral infections can lead to cancer, but this isn’t very common at all. IDK, guess I’ve always felt bacteria are way more complex and that it makes sense CRISPR comes from them. Bacterial viruses, aka bacteria phages, were the evolutionary pressure which lead to CRISPR’s development. But I’m a nerd and stay up to date with it all, so maybe that shifted my outlook.
