That is cool. Life is amazing.
I'm not sure what's cooler, that we're just discovering this ancient eukaryotic group, or that it's now possible to sequence a eukaryotic genome from a single cell's worth of DNA.
That's a pretty big find.
The shrink ray has arrived:

Sort of.
^^^That's the kind of stuff that makes me think that Ray Kurzweil is right.
I was going to say it's like the rez laser in Tron but after reading it's more like a really high-tech Shrinky Dink. Will be cool to combine that with DNA templates/origami methods for assembling 3D nanoscale structures though.
Single cell sequencing has been a thing for many, many years now. It's done all of the time in the lab.Quote:

Not cool science, but maybe engineer/dentists can explain (& not worth a new thread)
Why are those dump truck trailers running off a long fixed arm behind the main dump truck?
Why the extended arm? What’s that for? It appears to be hydraulically extendable too?
thx, that's been bugging me a while...i figured there was some sensible reason
Faster than a transfer trailer, but wouldn’t work for feeding the paver.
