Thank you! I will follow with bioinformatics, so it is still computer-science in some way.
One thing that I already sent to IRC that comes from this mix is the biology ASCII art (in my class notes).
DNA, with a <a> href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sshbio/dot/6264a901eafd55fd68f1fbf00107821f11ccf3e1/bin/dna"script to generate it with colors</a> like so:
