JACKIE WINTER: It’s pretty amazing, … certain clusters are more amenable to work with, or even strains. And I think then it lends more to microbiology. And …

… learned a lot so much history from this conversation about why the ocean was basically unexplored until the 70s, and … or low-nutrient. And over a six-month period, we found 20 strains that became visible. We took off the plates. We … forward to seeing the data when it finally gets off the sequencers. The pandemic has obviously slowed JGI down a …

… The genes are pretty much 100% identical. We don't know why one is expressed over the other. As far as whether we're … usually serve as dimers, and then they will bind to certain sequences of DNA. And when they bind to those certain … OK. Oh, awesome. DAN: So yeah. If you get any cool strains you need some help, we'll probably be able to help …

And it has 17 resistant genes on a … and you might have the same cluster and all these different strains. But only one produces the compound. So I think …
