Cancer is mutated human cells that divide uncontrollably. This virus is benign to humans (i.e. it will not kill a person), but deadly to mutated human cells that divide uncontrollably. I don't see what the problem with semantics is.

Attempt at Citizen Kane this was not. I would stick to straight up regular comments and leave the attempts at witty comments to those with some idea that Orson Welles wasn't a cinematographer.

It's not necessary to abort a fetus. See the above comment I made.

Sorry, I should have explained in my comment. I do apologize. Anyway, embryonic stem cells are the by-product of in vitro fertilization (when a couple has fertility problems, sperm meets egg in a lab). Because of the nature of IVF, many eggs are fertilized with many sperms, resulting in extra embryos that are not…

No, it integrates its genome into the cells it infects. But it has a very specific site that it inserts itself into, so it won't mess up any other genes. The virus doesn't really have any know ill effects.

You're grossly misinformed.

Which ones in particular?

Next: Netflix with your friends. After that: porn with friends.

Naked, except for our toolbelt syle phone holder. Unless you want to put it somewhere else...

I'm just waiting for the day when humans can photosynthesize.

It could be that the DNA injected during manufacturing has a certain characteristic that makes it easier to detect than differences among groups of sheep.

Yes, I know that tilapia are not picky eaters. I was addressing the comment about repopulating the oceans with fish.

Too bad farm raised fish are fed with other fish that are caught in the ocean. The amount of fish required to feed farm raised fish is much greater than the yield that you get. Plus you have to take into account the energy used for catching the forage fish, processing, and shipping.

Yeah this dude's casualness makes it look like he's trying to sell the car or something: "Yep, she burns a little on the front end, but other than that, she's in tip-top shape and inspection ready! Oh, that's not normal? Let me step back and examine the situation. Oh there's someone under there that they're trying to…

The wording on Jeopardy "answers" is pretty complex for a computer to understand. There are puns, plays-on-words, and categories with certain patterns that a person (or computer) might not understand without the right cultural background. So yeah, it's pretty impressive that a computer could translate that into a…

It says glowing, not bioluminescent. GFP is excited by 395 nm and 475 nm. If you have UV light that excites the GFP at 395 nm, the light will not be visible, but the green fluorescence will be visible, making the animals glow in the dark.

The glowing cat is glowing because it has been transfected with the gene that will hopefully cause the FIV resistance. GFP is fused to the TRIMCyp gene. If the GFP is present, TRIMCyp is present as well.
