It's very seductive -- it's as if I *want* to contact a political representative, but at the same time I know that they don't really care. :) 14:41 < kanzure> That took a while out of my day. Ugh. 14:42 < kanzure> Anyway, I need some resources on gene vectors and retroviruses or adenoviruses for targetted delivery. Particularly anything about adult human fibroblast extraction protocols and ways to reprogram retrovirus. 17:26 * nsh didn't know adenoviruses had been exploited for transgenic purposes 17:34 < kanzure> http://heybryan.org/chats/2008-05-28--diy_bioreactors--%23biology.html <-- diy bioreachtors, cloning, expression vectors, plasmids, etc. 17:38 < nsh> hrm 17:41 < nsh> amorphous vNM, eh 17:42 < nsh> mmm 17:43 < nsh> hrmmm 17:44 < nsh> i wonder if you could fossilise plasmids with the e. coli chromosome and resurrect then later 17:44 < nsh> *within 17:44 < kanzure> You can freeze them. 17:45 < nsh> that way you don't have to maintain selection pressure to avoid deevolution 17:45 < nsh> overheady 17:45 < nsh> i was thinking more like introns 17:46 < kanzure> You could just preserve the DNA as bits and bytes, and just build the machinery to produce the DNA strands again. The trick is preserving an entire organism, however. That's where the synthetic/artificial cell projects start mushrooming. 17:48 * nsh is still dubious that about whether (digital string code) sequence contains all the characteristics of (physical) nucleotide sequence 17:49 < kanzure> Let's experiment. ;-) 17:49 < nsh> sure it'd be nice if was like letters in an alphabet, so nice, so convenient, so anthropic, that i wouldn't be at all surprised if it isn't 17:49 < nsh> aye 17:49 < nsh> "reality is what you can get away with" 17:49 < kanzure> booty? 17:49 < kanzure> I mean, loot? 17:51 < nsh> hm 17:55 -!- nsh- [n=nsh@87-94-146-186.tampere.customers.dnainternet.fi] has joined #hplusroadmap 17:56 < nsh-> my last line? 17:56 -!- nsh [n=nsh@87-94-146-186.tampere.customers.dnainternet.fi] has quit [Nick collision from services.] 17:56 -!- nsh- is now known as nsh 18:00 < kanzure> nsh: Last line was 'hm'. 18:00 < kanzure> Also, dnainternet? 18:02 < nsh> DNA: finnish telecoms provider 18:02 < nsh> + Jungian synchronicity 18:02 < nsh> [00:52:18] i meant in the sense of "what's possible" 18:02 < nsh> [00:52:36] analogy of a game and nature as the referee 18:02 < nsh> [00:52:53] you don't know the rules exactly, so you keep trying things to narrow them down 18:02 < nsh> [00:53:04] science is the evaporation of the impossible 18:02 < nsh> [00:53:54] loot is a bonus :-) 18:04 < nsh> have you seen http://partsregistry.org/Main_Page ? 21:58 < kanzure> nsh: Yes. 21:58 < kanzure> I have also been talking with Drew Endy about integrating biobricks.org & partsregistry.org & igem.org into skdb. 22:48 -!- Netsplit niven.freenode.net <-> irc.freenode.net quits: shogunx 22:56 -!- nsh [n=nsh@wikipedia/nsh] has quit [Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)] 22:57 -!- shogunx [n=shogunx@rrcs-24-73-158-97.se.biz.rr.com] has joined #hplusroadmap
