SpeedRacer 1 #2 July 31, 2006 I have genetically modifed viruses myself. In fact, today I am doing that with Simian Immunodeficiency Virus. But this Wilmer guy apparently invented one from scratch! As indicated in the article, a new facility to study Bioterrorism will be built here in Frederick, MD. Some people didn't want it to happen, saying it would all be just a conspiracy to revive our own bioweapons program that was shut down in 1971. But with that attitude, no-one could EVER do research into defense against bio-weapons. The ideas are already out there, it seems to me that we need to try to learn as much as possible. Sticking our heads in the sand in fear will not save us. Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jakee 1,596 #5 July 31, 2006 QuoteThe little enzymes are busily ligating DNA strands For some reason I read that as litigating. I then got really excited because I thought someone had finally found proof that lawyers are a virusDo you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #6 July 31, 2006 I hope the enzymes don't start litigating! They might start demanding wages or something! Oh well. If they get out of line all we have to do is add some EDTA & heat 'em at 99 degrees C for 5 to 10 minutes until they denature.
