Can we clone, and keep the diseases from the old DNA out ? to make a person? like in starwars?

[Anonymous No.4987044]

just wondering

[Anonymous No.4987102]

No, we cannot keep genetic conditions out of the DNA.

First, we don't have a map of where all those things are located in DNA (or alternatives).
But we also don't understand the body nearly well enough to start 'fixing' it, we barely can make some conditional statements about what some DNA areas 'do,' and we know for sure that most DNA sequences do more than one thing.

So, you're asking essentially if we can re-write the instructions, when we cannot yet read the instructions, don't know how to edit them, don't have any words to put in their place, and can't tell what it would say if we tried.

wat

[Anonymous No.4987226]

Look, DNA is not like a set of written instructions.
It doesn't make discrete arguments about specific things; it doesn't even have an alphabet we can use, let alone a codebook of structures.

So we cannot just 'rewrite' a set of new instructions in DNA-language.
Period.

We can expect to, (AFTER we master cloning perfectly, and genetic recoding PERFECTLY!) remove KNOWN problematic sequences that do not affect desirable sequences -- but having that kind of knowledge about what all the DNA tells us is not something you should expect to see in a lifetime.

he means no. no we cant do the thing you said yet

>like in starwars?

In the Star Wars movie they cloned (perfectly) but they had a near-perfect specimen on hand.
They didn't have to recode the genetics; they just had to find a suitable subject original.

What was that original guy's name?
Char Siu?
Manapua Ho?
Pork with Lobster Sauce?
