They're the closest thing to the "fundamental particles" of biology: the minimal units of genetic code that do something useful that allows them to reproduce and spread.They also have some incredible properties, like having a structure that somehow encodes an icosahedron.I always wondered how the DNA of these things translated into geometry in the physical world.
