Medical professionals, what is the stupidest misconception a patient has had about the human body?
There exists an algoritm and its implementation called DNA Chisel which can optimize viruses or bacteria computationally and it was used for example to replicate the BioNTech vaccine.

Reverse Engineering Source Code of the Biontech Pfizer Vaccine: Part 2
How interesting. Was going through the top algorithm and it uses this library. Blows my mind that we have open source libraries to optimise dna sequences. Fascinating stuff.

Software to make in-scale illustrations of genomic locations
If you can build a Python environment and do a little coding, DnaFeaturesViewer or pyGenomeViz would be good choices. You can generate the following figure from a Genbank file with about 10 lines of code. Of course, you can specify the range of coordinates to be plotted.
