In 2017 I presented on DNA: The code of life. Since then there have been
many new developments, and I've learned how to explain the matter better. I
am submitting two talks this year, and this short one is 1) fun on its own
and 2) helps you appreciate the other talk ('reverse engineering the whole
source code of a bacterium') more

Love reverse engineering? You'd be right since you always find something interesting! In this talk we're going to study absolutely every byte of the DNA source of a real bacterium. And in doing so, we'll find bootstrapping code, genes, duplicate genes, anti-viral defense mechanisms, idiomatic/non-idiomatic/borrowed code & much more. It helps if you've also visited the companion talk on DNA, but this presentation is broadly accessible even without prior knowledge.
