delinquentmegranted this is my first compiled language though so08:16
mag1stratethat sucks08:16
mag1stratewhere are you having the problem08:17
delinquentmereferences to .class files08:18
delinquentmei say its there .. java says its not08:18
mag1stratehmm08:18
mag1stratethat seems weird08:18
mag1strateit should pick it up08:19
mag1strateyou might be running your program using jar command and class was not defined in manifest file's ClassPath attribute08:20
delinquentmeyeahh but im adding to class path right there in the javac command08:28
mag1strateoh08:37
mag1stratelol im not sure than. I know thats a common problem though08:37

delinquentmejython tester.py "nacho"09:51
mag1stratewhat does it do?09:51
delinquentmeright now it passes a variable into a java program which basically creates a "HI " +name and returns it09:52
delinquentmeHOPEFULLY09:52
delinquentmeim going to edit that so I can pass in human written chemical formulas and get codified output09:52
delinquentmeso like I can just feed it research papers and begin building up a database of this shit09:53
mag1stratethats cool09:54
mag1strateso its going to translate chemical formulas and give you a different type of output?09:54
delinquentmeyeah!09:55
delinquentmebut the cool thing is ... this is *WORKING* NLP09:55
delinquentmelike google working on regular NLP for people -talk09:55

delinquentmecoooool10:00
delinquentmeyeah man I'd totally apply10:00
klafkaso ypure specifically interested in a rails dev spot then?10:00
klafka k i'll let you know about that, though idk if we're gonna be hiring more of those till like q3 or q2 -_-10:03

kanzurehttp://prl.aps.org/abstract/PRL/v108/i5/e05830113:59
kanzure"The problem of solving the molecular Schrödinger equation is mapped onto a nonlinear statistical regression problem of reduced complexity. Regression models are trained on and compared to atomization energies computed with hybrid density-functional theory. Cross validation over more than seven thousand organic molecules yields a mean absolute error of ∼10  kcal/mol. Applicability is demonstrated for the prediction of molecular atomization p14:00
kanzureso their regression model is some approximation of a solved Schrödinger equation14:00
kanzurethe regression model is probably some hundred-term beast14:02

chris_99hey14:59
chris_99yes i am14:59
chris_99do you know of any?14:59
kanzurenope, i just order online or do it myself15:00
chris_99where do you order from though?15:00

chris_99nice :)15:02
kanzurewow what? $0.35/bp? prices are going up :/15:04
kanzure"1.8 kb in 7 business days"15:04
kanzurethat's horrible15:04
chris_99what kinds of things have you had synthesed, i'm curious what kind of things you can do using this technique15:05
kanzurei haven't synthesized dna lately, but last time i did i was copying some of erik winfree's work15:05
chris_99another guy i need to read more about, what was that?15:06
kanzurewho are you?15:07
chris_99a computer scientist15:07
kanzurecan i possibly convince you to work on diybio-related software15:07
chris_99possibly yeah,  i'm very new to biology mind15:08
archelsguerilla recruiting15:08
kanzurechris_99: not all the problems are related to biology directly; there's a lot of dumb stuff that needs to get fixed15:08
kanzurelike svg-based microfluidic software15:09
chris_99if you can point me to some things that need doing i'm certainly interested15:09
kanzureanother thing: english-based grammar/parsing of biology protocols into a standard format15:10
kanzureor some sort of representation.15:10
chris_99a friend of mine is actually involved in linguistics15:11
chris_99(computational)15:11
kanzurethe SVG stuff would be very helpful; there's no reason everyone should be using $20,000/seat software to draw lines and shit15:12
kanzurebut there does need to be a basic library of components that can be rendered into a final design15:12
chris_99what kind of things would you need to do with the SVG stuff specifically?15:13
kanzuresome sort of input for describing a final design, then translating that into a rendered image (pretty simple i guess)15:13
kanzurei've been meaning to do this since forever but it's just a matter of manpower/time15:13
kanzureit's a really simple program in theory15:13
kanzurechris_99: http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/microfluidics/15:14
chris_99thanks, i'll have a read through those and see if i can do anything.  i'm just thinking, have you heard of inkscape, because you could base something on that15:15
kanzureyes i use inkscape15:15
kanzurei'd rather not use GUI tools though15:15
kanzurethere's no reason we can't do VLSI for microfluidics15:15
kanzureerm, verilog-type stuff15:15
chris_99wait, by SVG, what do you mean exactly15:16
kanzurethe file format15:16
chris_99ah ok15:16
kanzureright?15:16
chris_99yeah, i was wondering whether you meant something else for a second15:16
chris_99well, GPUs should be great for this15:16
chris_99and easier to get hold of than FPGAs etc.15:17
kanzureobserve: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-vJ0Y_HtFY&feature=related15:17
chris_99oohhhhhh!15:17
chris_99this is something i read about ages ago, in an old tommorows world book15:18
chris_99about how you could create logic gates15:18
chris_99using fluidonics15:18
chris_99i've never seen anything like that before though in a video :)15:18
kanzurei've been working on a microfluidic dna synthesizer15:19
chris_99can you explain how that works in lay-mans terms?15:20
kanzureno15:20
kanzureerm, yes.. what would you like to know15:20
kanzurethis is a slightly ooler video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1fEHLarRZk15:21
kanzure*cooler15:21
chris_99forgive me as i know nothing about dna synthesis really.  so given certain chemicals you can actually create strands of dna?15:21
kanzureyes15:21

kanzurethis is called oligonucleotide synthesis15:21
kanzurethere are a few different methods for chemical synthesis of oligos15:22
chris_99and you could theoretically create anything from partsdatabase?15:22
kanzurephosphoramidite chemistry, phosphite chemistry.. etc.15:22
kanzureurhm, well, you're getting ahead of yoursel15:22
kanzure*yourself15:22
kanzurethis is just to build the raw molecule.15:22
chris_99ah, so you then have to combine molecules somehow?15:23
kanzurehttp://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/DNA/ has some info on oligonucleotide synthesis15:23
chris_99cheers15:23
kanzurewell, you can if you want, that's another method15:23
kanzurebecause of low accuracy of oligo synthesis, some people just combine smaller fragments of dna molecules into larger molecules using a ligation method15:24
kanzureso you ligate (concatenate) two strings together15:24
kanzurein those scenarios, you use a molecule library and select which item from the library you want to add to the growing molecule you're creating15:24
kanzureso if your library items are 100 base pairs each, then for a full library you need 4^100 molecules15:25
kanzurei'm pretty sure this number is only slightly less than the total number of atoms in the universe15:25
chris_99haha15:26
-!- elmom [~elmom@hoas-fe3ddd00-25.dhcp.inet.fi] has joined ##hplusroadmap15:26
chris_99so what kind of system would you need to take them from your system and ligate them15:26
kanzurewhat are you asking15:26
chris_99sorry, how do they make the dna sequences from partsdb15:28
chris_99is what i mean15:28
kanzurewhat is partsdb15:28
chris_99sorry parts registry http://partsregistry.org/Main_Page15:29
kanzurethat's just biobricks.. those sometimes work, but it doesn't really matter15:29
kanzurethey export a file format and have the dna sequence in the file somewhere15:29
yashgaroththose sequences are already made, you don't need to synthesize them every time15:29
kanzurebut in actuality i think they just ship a book to their igem member groups15:29
kanzureand the book has physical samples attached on each page.15:30
chris_99oh cool :)15:30
kanzurenot really15:30
chris_99is there anything cool that you would recommend i could get synthesised?15:31
kanzuredo you have a lab?15:31
chris_99not at the moment15:31
kanzureso.. you want to pay $10k to synthesize something.. why?15:31
kanzureyou should just spend that $10k on building a lab15:32
chris_99oh i didn't realise it would be that expensive15:32
kanzure$0.35/bp15:32
kanzureand i guess they are only allowing 1.8 kbp at a time (yikes)15:32
chris_99ah15:32
kanzureyashgaroth: you know, i didn't know they were limiting to such small ragments15:32
kanzurefragments15:33
yashgarothoh totally15:33
kanzurei know they have sequencing costs and they are probably ligating some parts of it together, but still..15:33
yashgarothexcept genes, most stuff in bacteria doesn't need to be too long anyway15:33
kanzureeh? damn it i want a frequency/histogram chart15:34
kanzurefrom what i recall most gene-encoding proteins that are of interest are <30kbp15:34
chris_99nice talking to you guys,  gotta dash15:34
kanzurebut usually at least 1kbp15:34

yashgarothyes, and still much longer than regulatory elements15:34
yashgarothI meant aside from genes it's all short stuff15:34
kanzuresure15:35
kanzurethis shouldn't be too hard to do; download the genes/sequences from ncbi and draw a chart of their relative lengths15:35
kanzureand then do that across a few bacteria, a few mammals..15:35
kanzuredelinquentme: there's your paper.15:35
kanzureprobably an afternoon of coding at most15:35
kanzureand probably done before, but who cares15:36
yashgarothwell, if I had to guess a rough midpoint, maybe...400 residues as the average15:36
yashgarotha few really small and really big ones, but most enzyme monomers are very roughly that size15:36
kanzureoh also, pdb viewers in webgl15:36
kanzurehttp://www.macresearch.org/protein-ribbon-models-webgl15:36
kanzurehaha.. an html5/chemistry startup? http://web.chemdoodle.com/ bizarre15:37
roksprokso i have a newb question, is molecular biology to the point where a desired gene can be synthesized and inserted anywhere in a desired chromosome?15:37
yashgarothno15:37
kanzurethere are many ways of "inserting"15:38
kanzureif you mean, insert it and then synthesize the whole genome from scratch...15:38
yashgaroththere's some work with zinc-finger nucleases to get site specificity, but it's nowhere near "put it in position 3,543,456 of chromosome 7"15:38
* kanzure nods15:38
yashgarothusually you don't need to place it in a specific location, thankfully15:38
kanzureor sometimes you just need a temporary plasmid15:39
roksprokok, so when you hear for example, http://www.physorg.com/news194539934.html15:39
yashgarothyeah, you can have a plasmid that operates without needing to integrate, or there's some that can go to a known chrom. location (most of the time)15:39
roksprokwhere they put spider genes into a goat15:39
kanzure1) stop reading the news15:40
yashgarothin that case, as long as the insert gets somewhere into the genome, it'll work15:40
roksprokkanzure: I am trying, but it is a hard habit to break15:40
roksprokyashgaroth: thanks that makes sense15:40
kanzurescience news is so weird.15:41
yashgarothofc. making a whole organism with the gene is a lot harder, but still possible15:41
roksprokand this is all under the umbrella of 'molecular biology' as far as finding textbooks and such?15:42
roksprokkanzure: agreed, i am actually trying to eliminate most news/magazine media from my life15:42

yashgarothyeah but it's probably put out by springer15:43
kanzurei should put my biology book collection back online15:43
kanzurelibgenesis has lots of biology stuff15:44
roksprokwould this work? Introduction to Genetic Engineering15:44
roksprokhttp://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Genetic-Engineering-Desmond-Nicholl/dp/0521615216/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1329090221&sr=1-115:44
kanzurepick something that you don't have to buy.15:44
roksproki wasn't planning on buying it, i just use amazon to find the title i want before i go off searching for it15:45
yashgarothlooks like an alright overview, but you still need protocols15:45
yashgarothwhat are you trying to do? and in what organism15:46
roksprokwould openwetware have enough?15:46
kanzurehttp://protocol-online.org/ is an ok starting point, but we seriously need to make something better15:46
kanzureno openwetware has like a fraction of a fraction of a percent of protocols15:46
yashgarothman bioxplorer used to be so awesome for bio textbooks back before it got neutered15:46
roksprokyashgaroth: nothing at the moment i am more interested in the neuroscience area but I would like to have a solid foundation so i can know what is possible/the general techniques/ that kind of stuff15:47
kanzureif you want to actually practice techniques i suggest you go hook up with your local community college15:47
yashgarothwell, 'molecular biology of the cell' is always a good recommendation there, I wouldn't delve deeper til you've read it15:48
roksproki took a lab course where we did stuff like inserting plasmids into bacteria15:48
roksprokand then feeding the bacteria to c elegens15:48
kanzureis there a follow-up class?15:48
roksproknot really a lab class, at least not one i could take15:49
roksprokthey are all part of the 'master's of biotechnology' program15:49
roksprokthat people who are not in the program can not register for15:50
kanzurethat sucks15:50
roksprokyea i was not too pleased with college in general15:51
kanzureisn't this like, one of the highly-skilled-areas that you're supposed to be able to learn from college?15:52
yashgarothpfft I never learned anything new in class15:52
yashgarothcollege is only good for getting high and having journal access15:55
kanzureincidentally, this is what singularityu should teach15:55
kanzureor my would-be transhumanist bootcamp15:55
roksprokyashgaroth: i will agree with you on that15:55
roksprokkanzure: what type of things does singularityu teach? isn't it like business development stuff?15:56
kanzureno15:56

Steel_:V15:57
roksprokthats not good, in general i've been a bit frustrated with the amount of ethics stuff i get when i search for transhumanist stuff15:57
yashgaroththere's quite a lot of planning for superintelligent AIs, and not much on planning how to make them15:57
Steel_roksprok: I have a fairly conclusive list of the ethics stuff, so you can make a filter based on ignoring those if you want15:57
kanzureroksprok: sorry about that15:57
Steel_it's in the philosophy subforum15:57
roksprokStee|: thanks i will take a look15:58
kanzurestop pimping your forum..15:58
eudoxiabut it's cool15:58
kanzureum..15:58
Steel_kanzure: is this a 'stop pimping or ban'? :P15:58
yashgaroththink of it as the hplusroadmap forum15:58
uniqanomalyIt's almost like those who can't do something work on ethics of that thing15:58
Steel_I like the parable of the dragon15:59
kanzureuniqanomaly: not even that.. people who claim to believe in transhumanist ideas, just do ethics anyway15:59
Steel_and there's some useful stuff for getting support from the religious15:59
yashgarothand all this shit about animal uplifting, it's like, who gives a flying fuck15:59
eudoxiayeah seriously15:59
eudoxia"Rights for Non-Human Persons Program"15:59
kanzurethe sad truth is that the majority of prior transhumanists have been insufficiently militant about how serious they are15:59
yashgarotham I obliged to make all fruit flies sentient?15:59
yashgarothit keeps me up at night guys15:59
kanzurethe extropian principles are neat but only if you really believe in making it happen15:59
roksprokStee|: should people really worry about getting support from the religious when we don't even have support from a lot of nonreligious?16:00
Steel_roksprok: I think there's a lot of previous religious sentiment IN the non-religious16:00
sylph_makoRights for AIs => Immediate human economic irrelevance.16:00
Steel_or at least religious ethics roots to the belief system16:00
eudoxiawe should start pandering to the trendy pseudoskeptics at RationalWiki16:00
kanzuresylph_mako: not really.. economics doesn't matter in the scheme of things16:00
eudoxiathen focus on religions16:00
kanzurerationalwiki sounds like a lesswrong thing, avoid16:00
Steel_rationalwiki makes fun of lesswrong actually16:00
kanzurelesswrong makes fun of itself too, so what16:01
Steel_conceded16:01
uniqanomalysylph_mako: AIs dont even need rights, corporations have enough rights for AIs to do stuff16:01
roksprokand i'm pretty sure lesswrong makes fun of rationalwiki right back16:01
kanzureyashgaroth: i think their point is that "rights" are important and that somehow non-human-rights means that when you become non-human, you will still have rights16:01
kanzureyashgaroth: unfortunately this requires you to think that 'rights' are real physical things, not just wishywashy politics16:01
Steel_Using rawls philosophy made it simple to me :P16:01
kanzuremy cells operate on physical laws, not politics16:02
yashgarothyeah but it's still a massive circlejerk16:02

kanzureon what16:04

kanzureon what16:05
Steel_how much money do they make on their courses16:05
kanzure$25,000 per student, but most are subsidized16:05
yashgarothjesus, whose cocaine does that pay for16:05
kanzurethey had 80 students in one of their 2010 sessions?16:05
Steel_Right, but what does their financial statement look like.16:05
kanzurenot sure16:05
kanzurethe point is: it's a lot of money to hear about how awesome 3d printing is16:05
Steel_is Sing U a nonprofit?16:06

yashgarothdid you expect any different16:06

kanzurewhat?16:07
yashgaroth'if we don't sit around daydreaming about AI, who will?'16:07
Steel_isn't SU associated with SIAI?16:07
kanzureno16:07
eudoxiait doesn't, bored Silicon Valley engineers are more than willing to give away millions for a fantasy16:07

Steel_jesus christ.16:08
Steel_that 25k is easily undercuttable >_>16:08
kanzureyep.. SU is pretty sick16:08
kanzurenot really.. they are selling a premium thing there,16:08
kanzure"the ability to connect with people who can afford to spend $25k"16:08
mag1stratewhat is SU?16:08
kanzurehttp://singularityu.org/16:08
kanzureSteel_: nobody would spend $10k to go to transhumanist bootcamp where you learn how to actually do these things16:09
kanzureall you guys would love it,16:09
Steel_kanzure: Nah, but they would to meet the people who are actually implementing them now instead of talking about it.16:09
Steel_You have name brand, dude16:09
kanzurebut frankly you are all broke.16:09

kanzureit's pretty cheap to go to sf on your own16:12
kanzure$250 for a roundtrip.. who cares, that's like an expensive meal16:12

Steel_for like a month16:14
mag1strate...16:14
mag1strateand they only take 80 people?16:14
Steel_kanzure, know of any good mod/sim projects? I've already talked to yashgaroth about trying to model the electroporation problem (if it's not sufficiently well handled)16:14
kanzureSteel_: it would be helpful if someone was working on open source simulations of rtms, transcranial ultrasound, and cfd of laminar flows in microfluidics16:15
kanzureopenfoam is useful but still needs configuration to go do those things16:15
kanzureSteel_: also, it's about 6 weeks iirc16:16
Steel_hmm, I'll be better equipped to handle the vagaries of electromagnetic simulations at some point in the mid-term16:16
kanzurethere's the "grad student program "and the "executive program"16:16
Steel_I'm going to have to learn how to do E&M finite element method for work16:16
mag1stratewhats the difference?16:16
Steel_one of them charges more and uses more buzzwords/less real words16:16
Steel_and I say this as a huge fan of business academia16:16
Steel_Also, I'm tempted to hunt down some motherfuckers at RPI16:19
mag1stratehmm...they should probably make something for younger people16:19

Steel_kanzure, what would you teach at a summer camp and how much would you charge?16:20
mag1stratelol16:21
Steel_yashgaroth: You, me, La Jolla bars, april?16:21
eudoxiaI have a feeling transhumanist boot camp would be a shack in the middle of the woods full of computers. After a few weeks they'd kick down the door thinking we're plotting to crack nuclear launch codes16:21
yashgarothhells yeah steel16:21
Steel_Sweet, anyone else in the SD area to come with?16:21
eudoxiaalternatively the accumulated was heat & programmer sweat kills us all16:21
kanzureSteel_: molecular biology, genetic engineering, synthetic biology, analog and digital electronics, lots of software, and machine shop skills16:21
mag1strateI guess, but I believe that it will have more to do with the idea16:21
yashgarothI have no idea, but we could fly people in16:21
Steel_ehhh, $$16:22
yashgarothokay we'll bus them in16:22
mag1stratewe could, but do you know of many kids that know what transhumanism is?16:22
Steel_kanzure: Could you show those skills easily in a summer camp, and have people do shit that actually has a visible effect?16:22
Steel_I don't know if this is plausible, but something like insert that stupid glow in the dark dna into drosophilia or something stupid like that?16:22
kanzureunfortunately, "ethics" is cooler16:22
yashgarothnot everyone needs to know every field, as long as we know enough to identify where collaboration would be useful16:22
kanzurewell, i do have one way this might work16:23
mag1strateWell I think any transhumanist idea requires collaboration16:23
kanzureat the moment software companies are paying a shitload in recruiting fees16:23
kanzurelike $20k/head16:23
kanzureso you could possibly tie it in to that16:23
Steel_That would require it to be a college thing.16:23
mag1strateWe can't make it that expensive though...16:23
kanzuremag1strate: no the company pays the $20k16:23
mag1strateoh16:23
kanzureusually 10-20% of their salary16:24
kanzureand no it's not a college thing16:24
kanzurelook at hackruiter or thoughtbot's training program16:24

-!- ThinkTank [SDr@cpc10-dals18-2-0-cust809.hari.cable.virginmedia.com] has joined ##hplusroadmap17:37
Steel_that's basically a thought--how many things could you test for with a portable device?17:37
Steel_like, how does that scale?17:37
yashgarothwell, if it's something that'll bind to an antibody, you can test as many as you want with a good detector17:38
Steel_another question would be what are the most important things to keep track of if you wanted to monitor the 'most important' for good functioning of the body17:38

Steel_a third would be where I could put a permanent blood monitor that wouldn't compromise structural integrity while lifting heavy weights17:44
yashgarothyou mean checking stuff like creatine kinase that gets released from damaged muscle? or checking your cholesterol17:45
Steel_all of the above? :P17:45
kanzureaptamer/antibody assays still require some sort of imaging17:45
kanzureor sometimes you can do electrical detection i guess of binding events17:46
kanzurea better plan would be to just take blood samples at different points17:46
yashgarothnot without shoving a biacore into yourself17:46
Steel_:(17:47
yashgarothbut yes taking timepoint samples would be much easier and accurate-r17:47
Steel_also wondering how hard it would be to synthesize pure flavonoids17:48
yashgarothstuff like blood pressure and heart rate would be a nice project to DIY though17:48
Steel_http://www.physorg.com/news/2012-02-mitosis-mystery-chromosomes-align-perfectly.html17:48
yashgarothwhat flavonoids do you need that you can't get from plants? purity is still tough with organic synthesis17:50
Steel_it's more that the concentration is pretty terrible17:50
Steel_25% tops, from what I was looking at17:50

d3nd3strangewarp: thank you for your opinion, but just like my statement which you tried so desperately to challenge with a thrust of righteousness.  my opinion was never fixed, it was put there to raise awareness, it was never incorrect just as your opinion put there is not incorrect too , but actually i think you already know that, i type it just in case you don't know it, strangewarp there are many small improvements w20:13

d3nd3our freedom is being restricted from  us, we are not being who we were born to be, but yet we don't give up trying. we want to be able to speak freely and not have the logic which we put into text misinterpreted and for emotions to be fiddled with by majority of people who sit safely in exactly that, the masses.21:14

@kanzurehrm, the synthetic biology documentary passed kickstarter http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/637230479/a-documentary-film-about-synthetic-biology22:19

yashgarothcraig venter had a hard enough time making a bacterial cell, which is ~1000x smaller22:21
d3nd3a human embyro stem cell ?22:22
d3nd3i wouldn't think its too difficult22:22
jrayhawkI don't really care; any cell is interesting.22:22
yashgarothhowever, if dna synthesis technology keeps up, I could see it being done in 10-15 years22:23
@kanzurea human cell does not start from a genome.. it starts from another cell22:23
yashgarothsame can be said for bacteria22:23
d3nd3in nature it doesn't, but strictly speaking we aren't talking about nature22:24
jrayhawkThe trouble is that the RNA is not actually inherently derived from DNA22:24
jrayhawkonly *some* of it is.22:24
yashgarothno all of it is22:24
@kanzure(DNA does not turn itself into a cell.)22:25
yashgarothhey man, if you can synthesize a human genome, you can find the time to stick it into a cell somehow22:25
@kanzuresure22:25
d3nd3retro viruses can easily do the reverse of transcription and form a dna from an rna22:25
@kanzureyashgaroth: but given a single molecule of DNA, it will not turn into a cell22:26
yashgarothoh god no, but if you use venter's method of pulling the old chromosome out of the cell and putting in the new ones22:26
@kanzurethat's not what they are talking about, yashgaroth22:26
@kanzure22:20 < jrayhawk_> So, given a sequenced human genome, do you believe you can you produce a human cell?22:26
yashgarothhe said sequenced not synthesized22:27
jrayhawkI should've said "do you believe it's theoretically possible to produce a human cell"22:28
jrayhawkthe synthesis step is not interesting for the discussion here22:28
d3nd3synthesis step , but why is the synthesis step even a challenge, its becaus ethe machines are too slow or are they making errors?22:29
yashgarotherr you do need to assume we manage to synthesize a genome, that's the hardest part of producing a human cell22:29
d3nd3lol^^22:29
@kanzureyashgaroth: i still think you're not talking about the same thing,22:29
@kanzured3nd3 might be under the belief that you ca use a molecule of DNA to generate a cell22:30
jrayhawkWell, 18 molecules, presumably22:30
d3nd3lets clear it up so we know what each other are talking about, then it leaves no confusion22:30
@kanzure*can use22:30
@kanzurewell, tell us d3nd322:30
yashgaroth46, though if you're making it from scratch you can have howevermany chromosomes you want22:30
@kanzureyashgaroth: when you say "from scratch" you mean "using a cellular chasis" like venter22:31
yashgarothyes, that would probably be necessary22:31
yashgarothor at least, easier than making the entire cell as well22:31
d3nd3many things are possible yes? i played lego when i was younger with bricks, i'm beginnging to realize that biology is much like this, and yet it seems nature has figured out a very efficient method, but i'm not convinced its theonly optiion for building life and we don't always have to hijack natures' processes to form things, we can do it from scratch with the components and knowleedge22:32
jrayhawkSo, the real answer is "no, it is impossible to make a human cell with just the genome". Most DNA is not expressed, and what is expressed is controlled by the existing "running state". You need the current RNA, you need the mitochondria, you need the epigenetics, you need the eicosanoids, you need the microdna, you need existing chemical balances22:35
jrayhawkthis shit is *really really* complicated. we don't even know how complicated it is.22:36
jrayhawks/microdna/microrna/22:36
d3nd3well , yea , but they are not far to be found , hey i give you a little secret, don't take everything all like everyone knows the limits, ppl will constantly keep astonishing us for many many years to come, its an art and really best advice i can give is be imaginative and try out everything :) ... but hey your answer will be answered very soon i hope that u have a nice journey into this field and discover furitful t22:37
@kanzuredon't forget the other running state component (physics)22:37
Stee|did d3nd3 ever answer his age?22:40
d3nd3Stee|: this is peronsal information, but age will soon not be such an issue since the power of this technologoy will put me into eternity lol, then i won't remember an age but i bet u will want me always to have one haha, okayo hmm i tell u it" " .. i am 1622:42
