@evacide it is basically too late for that - your dna is worth like 2.61 and their eula says deletion is impossible even if you do decide to delete it - there are copies of the data and the feds more than likely love to store this type of data, lastly why would you trust any of these companies in the first place - they had multiple data breaches #exons #masks

When your body turns your DNA into one of many alternate protein forms, it uses this finely tuned biomachinery for a rope dance with the mRNA strand to carry out very coordinated cuts and joins.

Absolutely incredible to see it animated with this level of detail :0

Finished up another Wikipedia article, this time on biochemist Susan "Sue" Berget.

One of several women responsible for the discovery of split genes, all of whom were given little credit and the Nobel Prize for the research went to the two male professors involved and none of the postdoctoral fellows and collaborator professors who happened to be women.

Since, she's gone on to do amazing work on exons and variable splicing.
