Yep, it took me awhile to wade through it, but the dig deeply article was super-helpful. I am glad to see more writing like this - aimed at a lay level - to help those of us who are genetically impaired from understanding PhD level science speak! 😁
Special K - This DNA, your cannabis hop viroid plague, and plasmidgate posts reminded me of something... HGT from GMO plant to bacteria to pollinator/consumer. Its resonating because I keep thinking about mobilized plasmids and selfish DNA. Thanks and Hoppy Easter. Give those fabulous felis catus an extra treat!!
Kevin, why do both the Pfizer plasmid and the AstraZeneca plasmid include promoter/enhancer gene sequences for use with eukaryotic cells if the plasmids are only used with e-coli bacteria (prokaryotic cells) in the manufacturing process?
This is a great idea! A week in review, from mine point of view!

Real science is still absolutely brilliant. Thanks for reminding me...

Insertional mutagenesis
Duh
Thank you, this was helpful
