A Hahaha

@Windleaf almost all gas mask filters do bruh

btw, they call these sets of letters "insertions" because they are in one genome, but not in a close relative - "insertion" does not imply human interference or engineering - it is an evolutionary term and refers to a natural evolutionary mutation. <:smugon:512048583806025739>

@Pinks the shit non-NATO ones yeah

also

it was used before

nobody puts asbestos in modern filters

That is a good explanation for a non sciency person

Ty

yes

i can math and i can write the words that make computers do things

but i am by no means a science man

very hard when terms that sound similar to one another are not in speaking in different settings. I blame them from using these types of terms because they can make people go apeshit.

maybe that's the intent

Dunno man, does NOT look all natural to me

``` thermophilus bacteriophage genomes by modular exchanges followed by point mutations and small deletions and insertions```

insertions as in something that regulary happens in almost every organism and is always a term relating to mutations and evolution.

Yeas, my meaning here is it CAN be natural

But we'd not find certain insertions by default, is this true?

?

@Sq crcl you're such a fearmonger dude

it's kinda annoying ngl

@Pinks
You are sounding repetitive.
I heard you before

i get being worried, i get being skeptical

I think hes saying that reports have said that these insertions or whatever don't happen naturally

Specific ones i mean

well that is a large disagreement

but you're just claiming to know about shit completely out of your depth

what they are saying is that it is highly unlikely that some mutations happen to correlate with that sequence.

you don't have any background in this shit and you're not studying it either Sq

i think ill side with uh...

You guys have fun debating shit

I gotta make lunch

whatever your name is viking rune man

@Pinks
Interesting theories of yours. Good thing I haven't told you or anyone about my background yet.

You clearly don't know the terminology and shit like mr viking does

that's been made pretty clear to me

@Pinks
Ok, pink...

http://virological.org/t/tackling-rumors-of-a-suspicious-origin-of-ncov2019/384 ``` I have been privately dealing with rumors and inquiries, focused on the RRAR potential furin cleavage site, that nCoV2019 may have a suspicious origin as an engineered, laboratory-generated virus either accidentally or deliberately released in the area of the Wuhan seafood and animal market. The publication of the highly similar RaTG13 sequence about a week ago has fueled this type of speculation.

As I have told people privately, I see no evidence at all to support such a claim. In sharp contrast, I have studied the question in detail, using RaTG13 and Wuhan sequence at the S1/S2 boundary, and find convincing proof of exactly opposite conclusion – that RaTG13 could NOT be a proximal source of the Wuhan virus.

At first glance of an alignment of the S protein sequence of both, it is natural that the issue of an engineered insertion should be considered. On either side of the new furin site, the amino acid sequence is identical in both from aa614 to aa1133 – an apparent insert of PRRA is the only difference in an otherwise 100% conserved 519 amino acid region.``` this is relatively good read for those insterested he uses many specific terms in this analysis.
