I ran into a joke recently and I need an explanation in regards to this term. It was originally a twitter post that was reposted to a meme site that I browse.
-Studying for exam in college-
Me: reading notes: ‘tetrahymena thermophila are free-living
pond ciliate which have a macro-nuclear draft genome of 180
chromosomes and 25,000 genes’
Me in my head “yah most of this is pretty much common sense
anyways”
-goes to sleep
Basically other then the ‘macro-nuclear draft genome’, most of this makes sense – and google searches do render the term as a legit term (however no even half decent explanation of what it actually is).
Keep in mind this was posted as a joke: So I’m also not sure if it’s just a word salad or anything like that – but I would like to know one way or another as it’s REALLY driving me bonkers.
