They have a nice simple explanation. But the biochemistry of it I’m guessing is anything but simple. I’ve never heard of three way junctions in DNA before. I wonder how new those are. And designing the molecules to do the matching and splicing must have taken a long time.

It's a lot like TikTok, right? It's a very simple concept: immediately produce customized video recommendations taking into account even the most recent interactions.

You just need a way to pack the TikToks into blank data centers.

(Note: blank data centers is a concept that kind of sorta makes sense. A blank cell doesn't make any sense at all)

It was known in 2006 but rediscovered recently: https://patents.google.com/patent/US20060281113A1/en

Huh, I kinda assumed we'd already done that part with Dolly the sheep. But I'm not a biologist, I just saw headlines.

"just"
