I don't think we have a single f-string in the entire Python 3.7 codebase in the project I'm working on. They seem rather useless to me. I often pass a string like 'this is a template with {var}' into another function th

It's pretty hard to un-mutate a deleted gene sequence. It can mutate in a novel way to somehow cause more harm, but that won't be quick.
