But researchers from Temple University may have figured out a way to permanently excise it using a highly-engineered HIV "editor." Here's how it works: the team analyzed a part of our immune system that fights infection and built a "guide RNA" strand consisting of 20 nucleotides (RNA building blocks). Those strands were then injected into cells typically infected with HIV, like T-cells. There, they targeted the end parts of the virus's gene and snipped out all 9,709 nucleotides that made up its genome. Since the guide RNA strand contained no human DNA sequences, it left the host cell intact -- but free from HIV.
"I don't give a fuck about race...I'm white, I'm American, but that shit don't matter. I'm human."
Hm... Well, viruses themselves are just clusters of bad code... so who's to say a leet enough haxor couldn't remove them? Sounds exciting.
I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.
This is amazing news. Now, if they can get funding to develop guide RNA strands that edit the "stupid" out of humanity...
Burn fire! Hellfire! Now Anita, its your turn! Choose GamerGate, or your pyre!Be mine or you will buuurn!!
