Hi HN!

I built NaturalCron because I was tired of writing and debugging CRON syntax like:

/5 * * 5

Molekulární biologové vzali E. coli a její genetický kód ořezali o celkem 7 kodonů. Namísto původních 64 jich zbylo využitých 57. Vznikl kmen Syn57 s komprimovaným genomem. Uvolněné kodony bude možné využít v biotechnologických aplikacích. Tvůrci Syn57 sázejí na to, že takové bakterie budou nepřístupné virům. Zkušenost ale říká, že to nejspíš nevydrží věčně. http://www.osel.cz/14184-radikalne-prekodovana-bakterie-syn57-ma-doposud-nejmensi-geneticky-kod.html
