The latest puzzle: what the viroids doin’ in our guts? Nobody knows, we are only just realised they are widespread and not exclusive to flowers or whatever Anton told me. Tiny simple RNA smudges that are too simple to even qualify as a virus.
I feel like they’re as close to abiogenesis as we’ll ever get, with these living fossils.
