Technically a plasmid is kind of like a software patch, but generally they're employed by bacteria and not eukaryotes like humans.

- stuntkite 5y agoInteresting. I have watched nearly all of The Thought Emporium’s videos (so clearly I’m an expert, lol) and I think he uses the term plasmid to describe DNA he’s working on in the crazy bio IDE he uses. I think in this instance he applied it to a yeast that he cultured and put into pills and swallowed. He really is doing some neat stuff though. He’s inspired me to do some small bio hacking experiments and it ALMOST makes me want to go back to college.
- shpongled 5y agoPlasmid is the correct term!
- stuntkite 5y agoI am not being sarcastic when I say thank you for confirming that. If someone didn’t confirm it it would pop back in my head for days, “maaan, you fucked it up and now some other nerds are gonna use the term wrong and that’s really not helping anyone.” heh. Cheers. :)
