Thanks or the smiley. At first reading I missed it and thought you were dissing me but on the second pass, ?. I studied DNA replication for my graduate work. Used bakers yeast because it was easy to grow and a lot of work was being done on it. It was the first eukaryote (nucleated organism) that had its genome sequenced. Using yeast i developed a a method to map replication origins (where DNA starts replicating- they are very defined in yeast). Bacteria have no nucleus. Then studied herpes DNA replication proteins and possible gene therapy vectors as a postdoc.

This is for the laymen in this thread. The Coronavirus genome is made up of single stranded Ribonucleic acid (RNA) which in living organisms (plants and animals) is what the a gene (DNA) uses to relay info to the cellular apparatus tp produce proteins from amino acids. The coronavirus codes for the capsule proteins (what you see in the colorized electron micrographs of the virus.) It probably codes for a RNA polymerase which replicates the RNA (I'm not sure}. RNA polymerase is not as accurate in replicating RNA as DNA polymerase is in replicating DNA.thereby inducing mutations. One of these was probably what makes COVID-19 more virulent.

I thought there were a few DS RNA viruses. Of course I got my PhD in Molecular Biology almost 30 years ago so my memory might be getting a little fuzzy..

Is the Coronavirus a single-stranded RNA virus or double stranded? Is the DNA one segment or several?

WGAF? Never watch it anyway.

I worked for a few years at Sfanford. Mu opinion of the undergrad education is that it's pss poor, but the graduate education is top notch,

DTs

Don't know what the hell I was trying to type, if anything ,when autocorrect put that in.

Not Vanna. She turned 63 about 3 weeks ago and her yearbook photo would have been black and white. I’ll be 63 percent in about 2 weeks.

No, probably was in Playboy. That guy would be wearing a man bun today. Dont need to see photos, I lived them.Had a green leisure suit when I was 13-14.

From IMDB on Strange Brew- The role of Brewmeister Smith was written with Max von Sydow in mind. But Rick Moranisand Dave Thomas thought actually enlisting him would be impossible. It turns out that Freddie Fields, then-president of MGM had just produced Victory (1981), which starred von Sydow. So he sent the esteemed actor the script. Instead of hashing it out with Fields, von Sydow ran it by his son, who was a huge SCTV fan and encouraged his father to take the role.

Once again HaHa Gator finds joy in the misery of others.

Shut up Lemmingwinks!

Is that before or after her breast reduction surgery?

After Biden getting lost (even with a teleprompter) he is now sounding worse than my 93 year old mom. At least she can read.

It's the summer of George!

Because DJT was not POTUS

Lived in the SF area. Dana is a woman.

Unlike Biden.

Boy, PMS is really going to be a B word when she reaches puberty. Keep all weapons at least 1 km away.

Hey hey hey. What's Happenig. Heywood Nelson. Played Dwayne. Raj is on the left/ 'She played Dee. the smart alec sister of Raj. She's's a vet now.

Did I do that? That’s Urkel? I can’t remember his name.

Donald? or David? Faison, from Scrubs?

With your other posts it was very hard to tell. More to inform Tibs and the like.
