Sure bro, but remember that the heavy metal tolerance gene is a dependency.

Shit, I'm on python 2 but hmrA requires python 3.

The one with the 5m long nerve? Because it needs to loop around an artery near the heart, as that was the shortest way back when that nerve first developed. And now the source and destination are still close, but the heart moved. But no one has gotten around to make that legacy code more efficient.

One of my favorites as well.
