This was the first large part of the genome that was sequenced, in 1981: Cambridge Reference Sequence. Presumably they picked it because it is short and does not undergo crossover.

About 16.6 kbp:

TODO: many places say "exactly" 16,569, it seems that variable number tandem repeat are either rare or don't occur!

One of the things Ciro Santilli most deeply despises.

Real luxury is to understand quantum field theory and number theory.

Clothing/jewelry/car luxury is at worst a way to show off. And at best a replacement for nature/the countryside. People living in big cities have lost nature, and to some, looking at luxury goods (or watching television) serves as a (unsatisfactory) replacement.

Ciro Santilli took courses once upon a time, maybe that has influenced his passion? Ciro Santilli's musical education.

Metric space but where the distance between two distinct points can be zero.

Notable example: Minkowski space.

First we write a vector field as:Note how we are denoting each component of $F$ as $F^i$ with a raised index.

Then, the divergence can be written in Einstein notation as:

It is common to just omit the variables of the function, so we tend to just say:or equivalently when referring just to the operator:

TODO confirm, but looks like it, e.g. E. Coli starts DNA replication before the previous one finished.

No, but why?
