      There was an old flash game way back in the day where you had to play as a an animal cell. You had to manage all the different organelles and keep them from being damaged by viruses. He also had to manage your cell's energy, ATP,DNA and RNA synthesis, managing waste ECT. It was very in-depth. There was even a story too. Something about a planet full of platypus people sending a cell off into space because their plan is going to be destroyed by a asteroid.

    Could it be that DNA instructions are compressed information and when its uncompressed to RNA it makes sense? Like if you zip a txt file and look at its binary, it won't look like a txt file anymore but gibberish until its uncompressed again

    • @olekkowalewski8530
      @olekkowalewski8530 Год назад

      In a sense you can understand it this way but right now, as stated in the video, we understand that RNA editing allows for an extra step of control in the process of making proteins and other active molecules such as regulatory RNA. Even your cells use a method of RNA editing to remove sequences of DNA that do not code any elements of a protein yet are right in the middle of it's coded sequence. This allows cells to build more proteins then they have genes for by chosing to skip or include coding elements of the protein's sequnce.

    That sounds a lot like how information is conveyed through language.

    The above sentence was technically nonsense, but I'm sure you were able to decipher a coherent message.
    Maybe we just don't understand the language well enough to fill in the gaps.

      Theres a lot of research on the "chainmail" kDNA, since it is found in human parasites. We know that the structure (is it linked, unlinked, how many circles?, how is it (not) linked?) is species-specific. We also know that the kDNA is often bound to the flagellar motor which might allow for torsional sensing? We know that the replicative process is a bit of a nightmare and is probably a drug target. (also a lot more)
      Really I think its fascinating but still mysterious and I recommend reading any recent review article that comes up when you google "kDNA".
