Hi Peter,
can you explain why you refer toa "multi purpose " genome?
Was is proposed that it was "single purpose " before?
What do you imagine the purposes are?

Thanks

Hi judge,

J: can you explain why you refer to "multi purpose " genome?

PB: The MPG refers to a plastic genome that suits various environments. All genetic information is already present and/or can be modified upon environmental triggers.

J: Was is proposed that it was "single purpose " before?

PB: Single purpose is hard to imagine since an organism wouldn't be able to adapt.

J: What do you imagine the purposes are?

PB: The purpose of the MPG is adaptability to changing environments.

J: Thanks

PB: No worries

BW, PB
