mutagen

In doing so it helps drive the cell’s evolution, by both acting as a pressure and a mutagen.

They are just increasing the probability of mutation with a mutagen and having new (and often uglier) flowers as result.

And yet, in your heart of hearts, you know mutagen's point to be true.

That evolutionary step might have been inevitable, but required additional selective pressure or the presence of a more active mutagen to actually occur.

This paper found some differences in these mutational signatures of later colon cancers, and attributed them to colibactin, a mutagen produced by bacteria.

I could see some bloody complicated RNAinterferase thing working as a targeted anti-mutagen, in theory.

This is the main goal of the Mutagen language.

Some of the weirdness I see in Mutagen seems to come from a partial (or just differing) understanding of how Python and Haskell, respectively, do things.

We've already tried it - ethyl, methane, sulfinate as an alkylating agent and potent mutagen; it created a virus so lethal the subject was dead before it even left the table.

Since as far as I understand the UV light also acts as a mutagen, wonder if you could potentially create some interesting new yeast strains for brewing.

....and yeah mutagen, promising stuff, I remember it from a discussion long past.

The type of mutagen is not so relevant and gamma x-rays are not the only way to achieve this, some poisons are also used since many years (they play an important role in the first 'jurassic park' plot for instance).

That is getting uncomfortably close to Neuromancer territory: "M-G employees above a certain level were implanted with advanced microprocessors that monitored mutagen levels in the bloodstream.

The copatterns are pretty cool looking, but I'm not sure how I'd fit it into Mutagen's imperative-esque syntax.

There's a lot of overlap with how I want my language Mutagen[1] to work.

Mutagen has been on hiatus for a while, but I've been thinking about it a lot more lately, thinking where to go next.
