Gene editing should be pursued God speed. Giant leap for mankind. Many thanks to George Church and colleagues. Posted during COVID-19.

Why isn't this getting more hits now?

[@halilzelenka5813]

It’s not practical to introduce 400,000 edits per cell when you can just deliver a single antigen to induce an adaptive antibody response

[@incognitotorpedo42]

Wait, what are they doing? DNA Recoding is not at all well explained here. Googling "DNA Recoding" brings up a load of hooey. So is this some kind of hack of translation? Or what?

[@halilzelenka5813]

I think it involves altering the genetic code, ie changing which codons correspond to which amino acid

[@BruceWaynesaysLandBack]

And for bacteria infections? Bacteriophage treatment

[@rgaleny]

WILL IT MAKE GENE THERAPY VIA VIRUS' IMPOSSIBLE?

[@MAna-ql2ze]

No

Invent a black hole, reborn youself in one and that is pretty much all you need. Beside that you 'll be able to fly , radiation proofed. :-))
