Doublepost because CRISPR is already doing cool poo poo. Gene Editing Strategy Eliminates HIV-1 Infection in Live Animals, Temple Researchers Show quote:A permanent cure for HIV infection remains elusive due to the virus's ability to hide away in latent reservoirs. But now, in new research published in print May 3 in the journal Molecular Therapy, scientists at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University (LKSOM) and the University of Pittsburgh show that they can excise HIV DNA from the genomes of living animals to eliminate further infection. They are the first to perform the feat in three different animal models, including a “humanized” model in which mice were transplanted with human immune cells and infected with the virus. The team is the first to demonstrate that HIV-1 replication can be completely shut down and the virus eliminated from infected cells in animals with a powerful gene editing technology known as CRISPR/Cas9.

Best Friends posted:Trump thinking he could have out-dealed the civil war from happening is funny, but him saying that and then being unable to pass legislation with a republican congress is next level hilarious. At this point he is objectively worse at political deal making than George W Bush. Bush had actually competent, experienced legislators and bureaucrats working for him who were dedicated to pushing his policies. The reality warping power of 9/11 and the Iraq War greased the skids for a lot of his dumb poo poo, but even in a vacuum there's no comparing a skilled political operator like Dick Cheney to a bumbling dumbfuck like Steve Bannon.

THAAD in South Korea gives us two shots at any missiles that the Norks (*cough* or the Chinese *cough*) throw our way so if Donnie fucks that up with his idiocy he will actually have damaged US security in an immediately measurable way.
