# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (Nov 17, 2012)

The log contained minimal substantive discussion, but these points emerged:

* kanzure shared an article "Biohacking PCR Primer" published on H+ Magazine (http://hplusmagazine.com/2012/11/17/biohacking-pcr-primer/), relevant to DIY biology enthusiasts.

* A brief discussion about bioluminescence versus fluorescence occurred, clarifying that the genetically modified fluorescent cats require black light to glow, unlike true bioluminescent organisms like fireflies.

* Participants discussed challenges of genetic modification in humans, particularly immune system complications that would need to be overcome before implementing technologies like bioluminescence in humans.

* kanzure referenced a nanoengineer GitHub repository (https://github.com/kanzure/nanoengineer) related to molecular engineering and nanotechnology development.

* The channel was noted as being the oldest transhumanist IRC channel in existence (4 years old at the time), with logs available at http://gnusha.org/logs/, serving as a hub for discussions on DIY biology, hardware development, and transhumanist topics.
