Artificial Bases Added to DNA
holy_calamity writes "Researchers have successfully added two 'unnatural' DNA letters to the code of life. They created two artificial base pairs that are treated as normal by an enzyme that replicates and fixes DNA inside cells. This raises the prospect of engineering life forms with genetic code not possible within nature, allowing new kinds of genetic engineering."
Who the mother fuck took my motherfucking lighter?
It's probably because you're in the "too active" segment of the Slashdot population. Do most of your browsing while logged out and let many of your comments stay anon and after a long enough "retirement" you'll probably slip into the mod pool like I eventually did.
Of course, being as active as you are, I don't know how long that'll take...
I think the real problem here, as Mannie taught Mike, is the difference between "Funny," "Not Funny," and "Funny Once." Like much geek humor, it seems that all the humor in the use of the tag on this article come from mindless repetition, and the joke has officially been beaten into the ground.
Agree 100%
BTW: All your bases are belong to us!
It's base singular. You just killed it :(
which is totally what she said
What is a complaint about tags and moderaters not off-topic? It has nothing to do with the topic "Artifical Bases Added to DNA". Whenever I have mod points, I routinely mod off-topic any complaints about mods or "MOD PARENT UP" posts.
My rant here is also off-topic. Please mod it down.
