That doesn't even make sense either, you just need like one spider, and it can even be a dead one. That poo poo is just crush porn.

what? I think this dude can probably accomplish what he's explaining. I mean he bought like 6 black widows and he did buy dead ones but probably because he wants backups just in case he accidentally trips and knocks all the silk yeasts down the drain or something

SniperWoreConverse posted:
The engineered CRISPR (or rather the cas9 protein but everyone just calls the whole system CRISPR because it sounds rad) that everyone uses takes a short piece of rna called the guide rna, matches that up with the DNA sequence, and cuts the DNA. If you give it some extra DNA with sequences matching the area around the cut site, the cell can incorporate the foreign DNA into its own genome when it repairs the cut. More complex organisms have many more cells to transform, and it is more difficult to successfully transform them. I'm not sure what kind of efficiencies people are getting but I'm sure it varies greatly depending on the procedure used. If you know how restriction enzymes work for gene editing it's basically the same thing, but CRISPR can be programmed to recognize any sequence you provide rather than being limited to one particular recognition sequence.

Yeah I don't know poo poo I basically heard a podcast where someone used the term gene drive and they acted like you could force an organism to accept alterations for all subsequent generations even if there's pretty strong selection pressure against it. Like the new genes are driven in permanently and will spread to the entire population. So it sounds like probably crisper is part of that but not that. I think there was a part where a dude realized this could be used to make all mosquitoes extinct somehow? and then he was like badass no more dengue but then he was like holy poo poo terrifying ecological consequences. It made sense the way they explained it but I honestly don't remember. This is why we need to start the GBS Institute of Goonalogical Sciences so we can know what the gently caress and as a positive side effect rebuild Lowtax spine by injecting crushed up crabs and tree bark into mice from the pet store. Still the "discover new antibiotics in the the comfort of your own home" this seems extremely capitalism.png to me.

CRISPR is one way of making gene drives work but they can use basically any gene editing technique to introduce them. They work by introducing a suite of genes including the nuclease (ie cas9 or whatever else), the guide sequence, and whatever gene you're inserting, and making that whole deal a part of the native chromosome. Then the cell will use one chromosome as a template to copy that poo poo over to the other, and it'll do this every generation, so each daughter cell gets forcefully made homozygous. Perhaps we could harness this technology to save the frogs from homosexuality...

Genetic engineering is not at that kind of stage yet. Maybe when we figure out artificial viruses to do our gene editing and not painstaking repeated laboratory procedures

Larry Parrish posted:Im aware but we aren't quite at the runaway environmental disaster stage It likely won't ever get to that point, using nucleases invaribly results in a fitness defect, either from the DNA cutting, the expression of Cas9, or some unforeseen effect from the edit being installed. Natural organisms will just outcompete the edited ones...well, usually.

Mosquitos and stuff are interesting - there's poo poo loads of mosquitos that occupy the same ecological niche, but only Anopheles asgyptii carries malaria so you can theoretically do some horrible gene thing to wipe out just one species without collapsing the entire thing. It's still kind of hairy, and gives me the cold sweats.

Worth it IMO. We are already hosed for a dozen other reasons. Giving 2nd and 3rd world countries a break from Malaria would be a big help.

Yeah, knocking out malaria would be a phenomenal thing. Is it malaria or trypanosomes where the host only mates once in life? Can't remember my insects. So you can release a bunch of sterile males and it implodes the vector population. That always felt a lot less likely to have unforseen consequences

Apparently it is also pretty invasive. Fate is sealed, once I release The Death Gene (FKDfrvr-2) that I carefully computed and then grew in an old tuna can the world will be free from this plague. Another fun gene thing that is a little bit capitalism is some pet store in Germany kept all their crayfish in a big vat, and the different species hosed each other until life found a way and there's now a parthenogenic ultra hybrid clone that asexually lays female eggs and has a complete functional life cycle. And it broke out and now it's spread all over the fuckin place completely out of control.
