It has nothing to do with anything you just said. It has to do with the fact that to make $100 million in IT and computers, you need a laptop and a coffee shop wifi and you can code the new Candy Crush or Flappy Bird and rake in micro-transactions and ad revenue while creating nothing of value besides an addictive phone app and an increase in car insurance premiums. I like to think of the movie Idiocracy as a good measure of where we're heading.
To make advances in the life sciences, you need lab equipment that can run into the millions of dollars, as well as the space and facilities to handle the materials you're working with. While people can get frustrated with the pharma industry, I'm pretty appreciative of the fact that someone can't make my Recombinant Factor VII in a DIY lab and sell it to me.
Be adventurous, dare to dream, but also be a realist. Everyone on this list is here specifically because we dance around the fringes and may not have found a spot in the conventional biotech industry or academia, but that doesn't mean we don't care about good science, or practical applications.
I want a spaceship. Do I blame the church because there hasn't been progression in the field of at home space-ship building? No. Because I don't want my spaceship to be built in a garage, I want it to be built by a billion dollar corporation with the best engineers and scientists in the world.
Do I blame the church because I can't make Recombinant Factor VII in my basement and sell it to my friends? No. Because I don't want my medicine to be built in a basement, I want it to be built by a billion dollar corporation with the best biologists and chemists in the world.
Does that mean they don't make mistakes? No. But I bet their incentives to not make mistakes are greater than Joe Schmoe.
In the end, I have no idea what you even want to do.

--guys sorry for delay in my postings while i wasstudying a lot about adeno associated viruses and retroviruses and retroviruses,exploring several possibilities guys pls don't be so conventional and conservativeofcourse they are safe ... just think of ex-vivo
why is world of biotech not moving for the past 30 years...while other branches of sciences like Computers and IT emerged in a strong way in 30 yearswe are failed to produce non of the path breaking new ideas at all..may be too much conservative thinking emerged now a daysor may be too much churches influenceor may non presence of openness and democracy in biotech

if possible provide me vectors, cell line and seedstock. i am new to DIY-BIO hence i need helping hands of veterans like you ppl .. your help be highly appreciated
