Is this RNA replication?
How can I make this my cursor?

Nope, it's circular DNA replication It's method is called 'rolling circle'. You can look it up if it interests you, there are plenty of videos in youtube!
After you download it, you'll see it is a .cur file (this means it's a cursor ) Then you'll have to find the mouse's properties from the control panel.
1. Open the Control Panel.
2. In the Control Panel double-click the Mouse icon.
3. In the Mouse Properties click the Pointers tab.
4. Check out what pointer theme you currently use. This is essensial if you get bored by your new cursors and want to return to you old one. For example, the theme I normally use is called 'Windows Aero'.
5. Select the pointer you want to replace with the DNA one (I reccomend replacing the 'busy' cursor)
6. Click 'browse' to find and open your new cursor
7. Click 'apply'
8. Enjoy science each time your computer loads or a program gets stuck! XD

To have a little reminder of what's going on in your body at any moment... That right there is extremely lovable.

Haha, thanks!
(though, it'd actually be the circular DNA of an eukaryotic virus inside your body, and that's not as pleasant XD)

It's still kind of pleasant to think of all the viruses that don't harm us.
But yeah, when I saw this all I was thinking was "The ring makes a much more stylish cursor."
Wait... can you really call viruses eukaryotic? They don't really have... a nucleus...

You're right!
Hehe thanks!
Nononono! by saying "eukarytotic viruses" I meant "viruses that parasitise inside eykaryotic cells (eg. not bacteria cells)" English is not my native language, so I'm not 100% sure that this is how you call them, but, uh, I used wikipaideia... :-/ I hope the term is correct...

Oh, thanks. Yeah, it works, it was just a little vague in context. It made me look a lot of things up, worried I was wrong... making me think maybe good things can come of misunderstandings under the right circumstances...

Haha true!
I'm glad that my cursor was a motive for more knowledge!

Well, you are a true student of biology, then! I loved it!
