chris_99Mike Darwin?05:36
kanzureyes....? do we know other darwins?05:38
chris_99is there any evidence that cryopreservation of humans may actually work?05:38
kanzuredepends on what you mean by "works"05:45
kanzureso far we have not demonstrated cryoresuscitation of humans05:50
kanzurehowever, we have demonstrated cryoresuscitation of worms05:50
kanzurei think that there is a better chance of human cryopreservation and cryoresuscitation if we allow for gene therapy and genetic engineering to occur before vitrification and preservation05:53
kanzure.. and various selection projects...05:57
kanzureand as for thresholds for defining 'working', i think that 5% memory survival and only partial personality would still be tremendously useful.05:59

__mz_obeen looking for that all morning06:53

kanzuredunno. you should compare to the peptide synthesis machines instead.07:20
kanzure__mz_o: have you read http://diyhpl.us/wiki/dna/synthesis/notes/07:20
-!- darsie is now known as bad07:24
kanzurewhich reminds me, i should ping CaptHindsight about this. he would be pretty happy about https://groups.google.com/d/msg/enzymaticsynthesis/uyZqtJO24RE/lApLb4JmCAAJ ... since it's compatible with inkjet dna synthesis. one of his fancypants 100 million drops/sec inkjet printheads would work perfectly with the assembly methods i outlined in that email.07:25

kanzure07:25 < CaptHindsight> kanzure: I'll take a peek in a bit07:27

CaptHindsightkanzure: I was looking at something like 24 hour turn custom mods07:52
kanzurewell, you would need virus manufacturing. the slow parts are DNA sequencing and validation of the synthesized fragments.07:53
CaptHindsightfrom blood or tissue sample to custom virus service07:54
kanzurea friend of mine is starting a synthetic virus company soon07:54
kanzurethis is him https://lifeboat.com/blog/2016/11/synthetic-virus-created-to-treat-cancer-in-dogs07:54
CaptHindsightbut after the last election I'm not sure about making it easily available07:55
kanzurenah, it will happen anyway.   nature already creates tons of natural viruses every single day.   we just need to get really, really good at virus defense projects.07:56
__mz_oyou can always filter known undesirable sequences07:56
kanzurewho is filtering?07:56
__mz_oand have an agreement to cya07:56
kanzurewhy would a "bad actor", running their own synthesizer, choose to filter the sequences they want...?07:56
CaptHindsightyeah why at least it would level the playing field07:56
CaptHindsightto have something inexpensive and fast07:57
kanzureyes.07:57
kanzurethe alternative is "lol well we could potentially stop this virus, but it will cost $xyz millions"07:57
kanzurewhich is no good07:57
kanzurei have not looked into the actual equipment pipeline required for virus manufacturing07:58
CaptHindsightthe tech seems to be scattered across several players and patents07:59
juri___mz_o: this will be the biggest render job completed by implicitcad. ;)08:00
kanzuremy friend has a virus manufacturing facility that he has been testing, but it's not publicly documented (ugh)08:00
__mz_ohe has/manages the lab or is just sending work to the lab?08:01
kanzureCaptHindsight: anyway the new detail i wanted to communicate to you is that, i think it's going to be possible to do "one pot" assembly of thousands of different DNA fragments into very long DNA fragments. right now we have gibson assembly and yeast homologous recombination which isn't good enough.   but the feasibility of "one pot assembly" is really high. so after inkjeting, the process woul...08:02
kanzure...d be "take all the constructed DNA fragments, and put it into a single reaction chamber, and run some other protocol [details pending at the moment]".08:02
CaptHindsightyeah I get it08:02
kanzurecool cool08:02
CaptHindsightCRISPR trials on humans has already started in China08:12
CaptHindsightUniversity of Pennsylvania starts their trials next year08:13
CaptHindsightI wonder what they have planned for DNA synthesis at the Parker Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy?08:14
kanzureprobably just outsourcing it08:15
kanzurenobody cares about synthesis :(08:15
CaptHindsightThe National Cancer Institute (NCI) still outsources theirs08:15
CaptHindsightthey are looking at finally doing it in house08:16
CaptHindsighta friend at the CDC didn't even want to hear about being able to make gene mods cheaply and quickly, it's just too scary08:22
kanzurewell...... to me, what's scary is not having lots & lots of people trained to make immunological defenses to new viruses. we need lots of people thinking creatively about unique ways to defend biology against natural and unnatural biological threats-- we need new proteins, new cells, new systems.08:29
CaptHindsightignorance or confidence that it's not needed yet?08:29
kanzurehm?08:30
-!- refractal [~textual@66.111.12.42.static.nyinternet.net] has joined ##hplusroadmap08:30
CaptHindsightor let things play out since the earth is overpopulated08:31
CaptHindsightand somehow those in power will still survive?08:32
kanzureah you mean, why are they afraid.   simple-- fearmongering is cheaper than positive forward moving progress.08:32
CaptHindsightyeah08:32
kanzure__mz_o: he owns the lab. or rather, he set it up. something like that. not outsourcing.08:36
CaptHindsightis there a secret underground bunker at the CDC that already has the defense tech?08:37
kanzurethere's prolly some military stuff somewhere08:41
kanzurefor defense of novel problems, i think you need human creativity and you still need to do the research...   unlikely that there's single button defense solutions.08:42
CaptHindsightsounds like an opportunity08:46
CaptHindsightjust needs some fake news to to generate interest08:46
kanzure"please panic because: government is hiding anti-virus tech from you"?08:47
CaptHindsightbad guys can make bad stuff, we need a quick defense system08:49
CaptHindsightduct tape won't save you this time08:51
CaptHindsightdidn't save you last time either since only a few scary packages were publicized08:52

CaptHindsight?-hemolysin is a heptameric protein pore with an inner diameter of 1 nm10:27
CaptHindsightnot tough like SiO210:28
CaptHindsightor graphene10:29

kanzureplus they have expirations11:37
kanzureso usage means you have to prep everything to be shipped at the same time (roughly)11:38

kanzuredon't bring that in here17:02
kanzuregot enough problems up in this joint17:02
fenngundam global challenge seems to be unashamed about going for 100% entertainment value, instead of, you know, actually making a walking giant robot17:14
fennming-hsun chiang seems to be the only one trying to build a humanoid robot17:14
fennwell, the only accepted proposal17:15
fenni bet all the japanese robotics professors are scared off by it being seen as too dorky to be affiliated with17:15
kanzuresurely gundam has been around long enough that the robotics professors are all in the job because of the show17:23

kanzureyashgaroth: greetings18:06
kanzurei am presently harassing juul about https://groups.google.com/d/msg/enzymaticsynthesis/uyZqtJO24RE/lApLb4JmCAAJ18:07
yashgarothhoi18:07
yashgarothoh yeah I should make a post there about the recombinase stuff18:10
kanzureeh just link to the logs, close enough18:13
yashgarothtrue, wanna make the diagram with actual software rather than a pen and envelope tho18:14
juulkanzure: do i understand correctly that you're proposing a method of artificial selection that would require inserting a bunch of different 100 bps sequences into an organism, growing the organism, sequencing the organisms DNA on a per-cell basis and then keeping cells that manage to ligate the DNA, wash, rinse, repeat?18:14
juulor are you proposing that the 100 bp sequences are all designed such that only combining a bunch of them correctly will yield a viable selection marker?18:15
fennthanks for the summary18:17
juulcompletely unrelated: I just discovered this journal https://www.alchemistowl.org/pocorgtfo/18:21
kanzurejuul: that's a good question. i'm not sure yet.   i think that the selection marker approach doesn't work initially.... because homologous recombination only works with a few fragments, for now.... so... we would have to do sequencing.18:21
kanzure.title18:22
yoleauxInternational Journal of Proof-of-Concept or Get The Fuck Out (PoC||GTFO)18:22
fennthis is the 2600 spinoff i guess18:22
kanzure0days just aren't what they used t obe18:23
juulok. well that sounds like an interesting idea and also a massive undertaking :)18:23
kanzurejuul: yeah i'm sure it would be a pain in the ass. but i'm pretty sure it will work.18:23
juulthe latest issue has a very interesting article on LoRa reverse engineering18:23
yashgarothyour limit's like 1100 bp for fragment assembly of an antibiotic resistance gene + promoter, unless there's some enormous resistance gene out there18:23
kanzureyashgaroth: soo on the fragment length topic, i think we should assume it's 100 bp -- typical output of a DNA synthesizer.18:24
kanzureand also, antibiotic selection wouldn't wokr here.... let's say the cell has to assemble all 1,000 fragments correctly to get the antibiotic resistance genes.   the chances of assembling all 1000 correctly is very low!18:24
juulyashgaroth: yes though there might be hacks, e.g. for bacteria putting a bunch of resistance markers on the same mRNA18:25
yashgarothtrue, you can go up to 3 simultaneous resistance genes for sure, maybe a couple more if that's all the bacteria have to do18:26
kanzureif you want to split the resistance gene across many fragments, you can add some wacky promoters or put it behind some wacky regulatory network18:26
yashgarothit's not great for 100+ fragments, but if you're just selecting for a cell that's better at assembly, then it's a start18:27
fennso the idea is to let evolution do the work of figuring out how to assemble oligos into genes?18:28
fennby making a good assembler-phenotype bacterium/yeast/whatever18:29
kanzurehomologous recombination already does that... on a small scale. idea is to use evolution to select for cells that are even better at homologous recombination.18:29
yashgarothyeah, but getting multiple generations of them is tricky since you run out of unique resistances pretty quick and they might just hold onto the genes18:29
kanzureyashgaroth: ah.... yes, well, that is why we need unique dna fragments for every round of selection. can't reuse the same fragments.18:29
kanzure(yes i know this sucks a lot)18:30
juula rapid selection pipeline where the selection criteria includes the output of any kind of not 100% biology (e.g. a sequencer) is basically a magic "get me what i want" machine18:30
kanzurea grad student?18:30
yashgarothand/or robot18:30
juulit's certainly what Amyris and Ginkgo BioWorks do18:31
juulbtw have you seen the ginkgo bioworks t-shirts? :p18:31
yashgarothgrad students are still cheaper than robots if you promise them papers18:31
juulit's the Jurassic Park logo, except it says Ginkgo Bioworks instead of Jurassic Park, and then on the back: "There will be dragons..."18:32
yashgaroth"there will be yeast that smell sorta like roses" is a lot less motivating18:32
kanzurewell that's why cambrian was going for vaginal rose infections or whatever18:33
yashgarothanyway yeah having an entirely cell-based system is appealing since you could run it for a year and pull out magic bacteria, but we'll probably end up having to push millions of samples through some sort of machine instead18:35
kanzureprobably at this point i should just give up and build a generic cell evolution system anyway.....18:35

yashgarothcells are such pains to work with, always concerned with their own survival...like c'mon I have needs too okay18:38
kanzurei think cellular selection is better than direct protein stuff, since cells have so many other components to work with-- more room for mutations and more room for other components to positively contribute to desired behaviors18:42
yashgarothin theory it's far more elegant, since cells take care of their own propagation, but if you need to have constant feedback from an outside instrument anyway, like juul said, the advantages wear off18:45
kanzureyes...  i was thinking of an emulsion droplet system, where each cell can be individually tracked. so there's no bulk bioreactor culture with cross-contamination from large populations or whatever.18:46
yashgarothand more components means more things to go wrong, which is true everywhere but especially biology18:46
yashgarothlive-cell emulsion sounds tricky, but there's always FACS if you can modify the selection to work with that18:47
kanzureare most cell emulsions only dealing with dead cells?18:47
yashgarothtbh I haven't looked into it much, I guess cells with walls might be okay in that environment18:48

yashgarothnot to say doing it reliably with live cells isn't doable, with the magic of ~microfludics~ or w/e, but it's not a mature field19:04
kanzureif the concern is food, you could put food in dissolvable caplets that take different amounts of time for a food schedule, inside each emulsion droplet19:05
yashgaroththey're not going to die quickly without food, especially single-celled organisms, but that's one of the concerns19:07
kanzureis it... cell membrane integrity?19:12

yashgaroththere's that, which is way I say they'd need a cell wall, but otherwise...if they're only in droplets for a few hours maybe they'd be okay, but more than that and there just hasn't been much research on it19:17
kanzurehrm.19:19
kanzurei was not aware of this19:20
kanzureand what makes the microfluidic magic work?19:20
yashgarothidk, I just assume microfluidics is magic and will solve everything, that's what people tell me19:21
kanzureand all this time i thought laminar flow was a hygiene product...19:21
-!- sandeepkr [~sandeepkr@103.49.155.114] has joined ##hplusroadmap19:23
yashgarothI'm sure we could get it to work, but it's only a technique until you have a robust system of selection/screening and evolution19:25
yashgaroththis is why I prefer grey-market biopharma, since you haven't necessarily had 400 screaming grad students overanalyze the field to death and still come up with bupkis; as is the case with most published fields19:27
