Why is genetic research so boring? CRISPR was ten years ago yet nothing cool has come of it.

Women are responsible for no innovations. Firstly they stole all credits from real scientists who discovered crispr, now sit on fund money and immitate working processby by writing useless papers. All this money could go to competent men, but we have what we have

maybe you missed the largest experiment in history when they forcefully subjected 90% of the developed world to gene modifying serums.

>genetic research
Genomics is for Chads, thats probably why.

Ok and what differentiates you from all the other academic researchers doing basic research. Going to dedicate your whole life to a single pathway and protein. Very cool!

too hard to get into since its gatekept by doctors and pharmaceutical companies.

The men who discovered it's applications fucked off underground and are now creating cat girls and boys away from public eyes. One day, you'll be chilling in some public place and out of the corner of your eye a random girl with cat ears and a tail will pass you by nonchalantly.

I want to become an 8ft tall Aryan with an IQ of 200. I bet all of India and China would do the same. The world is going to look like Hitler's dream when this gets figured out

>doing basic research
I dont do "basic bitch work".
If you could do it thens its basic bitch nonsense "This is what a scientist looks like."
Thats what.
>Going to dedicate your whole life to a single pathway and protein. Very cool!
I invalidated this concept, youre illiterate and not a Geneticist or scientist...
YOU ARE SINGLE-PATHWAY PROTIEN!

anon, what if the most superior being we can create isn't a full-blooded Aryan...but a cat humanoid? specifically a female cat humanoid - the cat girls get 200+ IQ, cat boys only get midwit IQs...
what then, huh? you still gonna do it? would the world still do it? haha...

The Smoke and Mirrors of Genetics: Debunking the Myths of CRISPR
The world of genetics has long been shrouded in mystique, and recently, the rise of CRISPR technology has been touted as a revolution in scientific capabilities. But beneath the glossy veneer of 'nano-tweezers' and 'precision gene-editing', lies a more pedestrian reality: plain old fermentation and selective breeding.
Propagandist pop-science outlets like Kurzgesagt's YouTube channel have been peddling fantastical narratives, mesmerizing audiences with animations of microscopic scalpels and dexterous DNA manipulation. The PR campaigns have been so successful that even the general public is now under the impression that genetic engineering has entered a sci-fi realm, where scientists wield atomic-force microscope 'surgery' and defy the laws of nature with ease.
Reality, however, is a far cry from this Gene-Frankenstein fantasy. In truth, CRISPR is nothing more than an advanced, albeit cleverly disguised, form of artificial selection. Scientists use chemicals to coax yeast cells into favorable genetic mutations, then subject them to successive rounds of selective pressure, favoring those that exhibit the desired traits. Rinse, repeat, and – voilà! You have your 'edited' genome.
Memes Like "RNA-guided DNA endonuclease crispr-9" system has been reduced to simplistic soundbites, replacing the intricacies of the actual process. The term "gene editing" implies a level of precision akin to digital surgery, an erasure of genetic "errors" a la computer code. In truth, the process is far more brute-force.
CRISPR relies on a complex interplay of enzymes, nucleic acids, and cell machinery to insert or disable specific genes. This 'editing' is more accurately described as mileu dependent mutagenesis and manual curation. Even the most seemingly cutting-edge CRISPR applications, like microbe-based biofuel production, are anchored in tried-and-tested fermentation protocols.
