Author Topic: DNA splicing work: I'm sorry, I need a what?  (Read 605 times)

This is a direct screenshot from the thesis I was sent earlier today. It's in english because there's little documentation about DNA splicing and gene modification in other languages.



I guess lab researchers get a bit horny.


what does splicing even mean

It's a preparatory step which removes filler information in the messenger RNA and after the splicing finishes, protein production can take place.


Natural splicing is for protein synthesis. We're going to force the splicing in the way we want to change what exactly is going to be synthesized.

i can't fathom how you can even mess with dna/rna

Science, bitch.

You use chemicals that do the same thing but are much stronger than the enzymes which produce the splicing naturally (note that 80% of the reactions in our body are caused by weak chemicals. For example, to add an H, the body usually uses vitamins. You can use a strong acid such as sulfuric or chlorhydric acid to add the H and both are much stronger than the weak organic acids we intake with our meals.) and by knowing which chemicals we add and in what order, we can estimate which nitrogen base (The letters A, C, G, T/U) will be removed with its nucleotide.

Of course it isn't 100% fail-proof which is why these are vaguely documented as not much research was put in place.


Although splicing is what we're going to do through the year, this thesis is for eukaryotic cellular reproduction.

in my biology class, we created an amoeba farm from an amoeba we found in a puddle

im more interested in what a "playboy" is
i think its more than the research mag, it has to be, right?

But amoeba are single-celled. We're replicating human placenta cells.

I'm translating everything as good as I can but I am certain it's the research mag.

through PCR? i'm confused

No, we're getting a human placenta from some donor and replicating a few particular cells. No DNA duplication from our part.
