Re: Over heads K.I.S.S.
DNA something strange sounding is when something else really strange sounding happpens, either spontaneously or due to the action of abracadabra chemical term
yep. Exactly what I understood. only thing is, the only way to know what a methyl group is to see a picture of it and the elements in it. my guess--it's got carbon and hydrogen, hence the meth. the -yl suggests like maybe an OH attached, but who knows (someone does).
I run across the KISS problem whenever I try to explain something that I know--like civ4, or history, or something else. I just can't leave out the complexity. urgh.

I don't know what Jazzns knows about DNA translation and whatnot, but I would have interpreted what he wrote
Aegist's comment made it seem that this agent is made from the DNA
in a different manner. as in,
he gets that the enzyme is made by the DNA translation process--essentially making something out of bricks, except you use light for building, dark for instruction.
ahh, who knows.

Re: The basic controls
those deers in africa?
they're called antelopes. you know, "where deer and the antelope reign" (are those the lyrics?)
now, as to specific names, god knows.
Antelopus grassus could work, for a good fake name (after all, Carolus Linneaus is the latin for Carl Linne. spelled wrong, but then, I never was any good at writing in swedish).
good explanation, though.
