And through that process, they taught the Wuhan Institute of Virology how to do this seamless noceum technique, which is a technique of assembling viral genomes so you don't leave any evidence behind. It's a ligation technique that uses a golden gate assembly. It's a clever way of putting stuff together so that you can't tell that someone built it necessarily from a laboratory. Yeah.

However, they did leave behind some fingerprints that make us that got them caught, basically. And you should if you want to hear about that story, you should get Charles Rixey on here. Charles Rixey has helped, you know, RFK write his book about this. And Charles Rixey is a Marine and he's been like a dog on a bone with this problem. And he was the one who leaked the diffuse proposal.

Are you familiar with the diffuse proposal?

So there was a grant that was proposed to the DOD to go build a weaponized coronavirus under the banner of we need to build a vaccine against this because if we can do it, the Chinese can do it kind of thing. And the DOD turned down the grant because they thought it was too fucking crazy. You'll have something that will leak from this.

But as anyone who's written grants, I've been involved in writing grants for our company. We got like $30 million in grants from NIH. You don't apply with a grant not having done 80% of it. It's just you're looking for the last 20%. Because you just can't.

The grant process is so grueling and so competitive that in order for you to succeed, you have to have all this preliminary data that shows we can get X done. We've demonstrated this piece. We've demonstrated this piece. Now we just need to do this last piece. And in that diffuse proposal, they had used particular restriction enzymes. These are enzymes that cut at particular sequences in DNA.

Those are important because they help guide the way that you cut and paste DNA together. So imagine if you're cutting and pasting a Word document, but your highlighter to highlight what sentence you want to cut can only start and end with certain letters. Those are what restrictions are. So imagine you can only cut and paste where there's a the.
