#gene-editing — Public Fediverse posts

Not to put too fine a point on it, but if we can't raise Atha and Inara the $750 to cover immigration bureaucracy within the next week, a cascade of problems will unfold that jeopardizes the future of not only Atha and Inara, but also the entire project of the Vulpibus. Problems including a $500 fine imposed in court, points on the license, more expensive insurance, inability to get paid work in the USA and probably inability to leave the USA for any chosen reason too. Problems also potentially including deportation of Atha back to the UK.

USCIS made a mistake and they are leaving it to us to pick up the pieces, and fast.

Can you help?

50-50 odds your next child has the same condition that nearly killed your first. Genetic editing exists. What's the actual argument for not using it?

Seedless Blackberries and Cherries That Grow on Bushes Vie to Be the Future of Food

The EU has finally endorsed #geneediting to introduce novel traits in plants—without treating them like GMOs in terms of #regulation if the plants could have arisen thru conventional #plantbreeding. This means the EU has reopened to innovative agricultural #biotech companies: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Gene-edited beagles may offer a future option for people with dog allergies
By Associated Press

Matt Walker couldn’t pet a dog without sneezing – until he and other scientists used a gene editing technique to produce a hypoallergenic beagle named Bailey.

"Doctors took Mei for a full-body CT scan and then rushed her to the intensive care unit. Her brave face had begun to crack. 'Mom, I want to go home,' she told her mother, before vanishing into the ward."

Engineered #hookworms could one day dispense #drugs from inside your gut
Researchers have #geneticallymodified the intestinal #parasites to make an antitoxin
Using #CRISPR #geneediting, scientists engineered hookworms that live in the human gut to make an #antibody against deadly toxin
Eventually, small numbers of hookworms may secrete drugs or other substances into people’s bloodstreams to treat a wide variety of diseases from allergies to obesity

This is a WIP storyboard of the work Atha and Inamruzui are doing at @vulpinelabs
Each module handles a different aspect of the body with gene editing and transformational goals in mind.
If you want to get involved in developing any of the hundreds of submodules for the GUESS Universal Editing Suite and SDK for the gene editing system, please get in touch!
This stuff can't happen without basic needs being met. Please be kind and donate if you can.

A fascinating conversation with the Nobel Laureate.

"In the first episode of the new season of ‘The Joy of Why,’ Nobel Laureate Jennifer Doudna discusses how she discovered CRISPR’s genome-editing power, the breakthroughs and hurdles during its explosive growth, and what lies ahead for this groundbreaking technology."

Vulpine Labs is based in the Vulpibus and is run by LGBTQ+ Otherkin folks!

Let's make Vulpine Labs happen sooner!
Things needed:
Bigger power inverter
Batteries

Grey and black water tanks for environmental safety and hygiene
Materials for sealing the lab and completing the home RV section in the back of the Vulpibus
Car repairs for supply runs (including CV joints, sway bar end links and the windshield)
Satellite Internet so we can be online anywhere
A new phone number
Food and drinks (including tea and coffee!)

And of course, debts to pay off including the car loan and a couple of credit cards maxed out when we were all forced to bundle into the bus in the first place in 2024.

How about if you have some spare monies, you pick an item or two from the list and sponsor it?

Send some love to @Kuniti_shino and Atha

Scientists Concerned Latest Gene Editing of Human Embryos Could “Open the Floodgates”

Guess what? Scientists have finally figured out how to play God with #CRISPR to annihilate those pesky #cancer cells, even the "undruggable" ones! 🎉 Just make sure you enable #JavaScript and cookies first, because apparently, cutting-edge science is brought to you by an outdated web browser 🤦‍♂️.
