heads up — I think the mitochondria integration is going to need its own RFC. the import/export surface is not small. we are going to be moving most of the acquired genome into the host nucleus and then re-translocating the protein products back across two membranes. this is not a weekend.

It's an acquisition, not an integration. Different budget line.

Raphael ~-2.0 Gya · 14:13

...what does that mean for the genome migration timeline

Gabriel ~-2.0 Gya · 14:22

I'll set up a sync. The TOM/TIM surface needs a spec before anyone writes code against it.

Raphael ~-2.0 Gya · 14:24

noted. for the record the circulatory system shipped without any of this drama.

Gabriel ~-2.0 Gya · 14:25

There is no circulatory system yet, Raphael. We are unicellular.

preemptively for the record

For the file. The sync never happened. The TOM/TIM spec was written ~400 My later by someone who did not attend this thread. The 37 mtDNA genes that were never migrated are still there.
