Heard that you are in paradise (your island)!

Here is disgusting — non-stop rain, cold and dark. Work is never ending and much fun.

Fortunately, it takes A LOT to spoil my mood, and it is rarely ever happening.

Just in case that you had any question —you got it right ;)

Looking forward to learning from you.

Attached is an article that might interest you re codon pair utilization in various DNA across species.

Back to work,

This is what I was mentioning you re work of Iry Weismann.

Attached link is his interview re mouse human chimeric brain.

Surprisingly — I was expected that he recently published much more on that subject. I expect that he has been facing a serious ethical board challenges.

I spent a lot of my time developing similar immune system chimeras — Mouse/human/pig in various combination — so I know challenges vey well.

Xenotransplantation is cool. Not only that it can answer many basic answers and provide unlimited pool of organs but also think about really important application — transplantation of the horse penis ;)

All best
