The Trainman Cometh

[wolven7]

'The game of typogenetics involves typographical manipulationon sequences of letters. There aree four letters involved: A C G T. Arbitrary sequences of them are called strands. . . Incidentally, "STRAND". . . fully spelled out backward is "DNA RTS", which may be taken as an acronym for DNA Rapid Transit Service". This too is appropriate for the function of "messenger RNA". . .'

--Douglas R Hofstadter, "Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid."

Thoughts and such. More later. Back to Atlanta, tomorrow.
