anoopbal Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 Could someone elaborate on it? I know we already know the human genome. ANd I read there are problems with just getting the DNA inside the cells intact not just the complexity of genome. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluenoise Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Yeah there just isn't a safe predictable method that allows one to change the DNA of a grown adult. It's a problem of delivery, and specificity. Though it currently being done with stem cells to some sucess. However that requires the removal and culture of these cells then they are altered and reintroduced to a person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
