Just a small post to point to an article bunnie [1] wrote about the virus Influenza A : On Influenza A by bunnie.
This article should be of interest for people with a background in computer sciences but little knowledge in biology. It offers some funny/interesting computer sciences comparisons which should be of pedagogic interests for computer savvy people.
By the way, if you like it, I strongly urge you to watch the following video from the 24th CCC Congress:
Programming DNA - A 2-bit language for engineering biology
[1] for those who don’t know, bunnie is an amazing reverse engineer and hardware designer. Among other things, he’s the first hacker who managed to break the XBox’s security, as told in his book “Hacking the XBox”, which is still, up to this day, one of my favorite computer sciences book. I could not emphasize enough about how you really should read it.
