This is amazing and I was looking for such analysis for a long time. I only wish it included more information about the actual programing language of DNA. >Now, DNA is not like a computer programming language. It really isn't. Maybe

Firstly, that startup idea was an overt irony aimed at Google :). Secondly, my guess would be that maybe 0.001% of gmail users are familiar with command line interface and regular expressions. Not everybody is a coder and that is not necess

I rarely use terminals so please don't take my answer into account. Just for the fun: I hate terminals because of the lack of discoverability. I know, it is probably the antithesis of a terminal, something that can not be fixed without
