Why in the world would you need CRISPR or lab grown meat? Just sequence the DNA and send it off to a DNA assembly service. The price is a couple hundred bucks a pop. You don't have to replicate the entire DNA, just the segments used for forensic PCR.
(On a side note, the state of biotechnology and life science knowledge on HN is utterly deplorable, repeating buzz words does not reality make.)
- aezell 5y agohahaha - Friend, this is a news website not a scientific forum. Relax.
- 14 5y agoYou make fun of people’s knowledge but at the same time suggest sending DNA to a lab to have it replicated. That would be not very smart since op was discussing how someone might get away with a crime and you suggest just contacting a professional service and probably just use a credit cart. Not smart at all. So we may not be biotechnology savvy but we have other areas of knowledge you obviously lack.
- yeetaccount2 5y agoI’m no biologist, just seems easier to “infect” blood with someone else’s DNA than to make it from scratch.
- mdp2021 5y agoAnd what is involved in the DNA sequencing? And the DNA assembly service will probably take record of the operation itself (it is not a common service). In the context...
- ampdepolymerase 5y agoOP was referring to state level actors.
- mdp2021 5y agoInteresting (I had not thought of that side), but it remains revealing. When there is reason to suspect that the case was manipulated it may suggest that that level of capability is involved. Or that somebody "rubbed a drinking glass" on the scene...
