Re: [DIYbio] Designer Proteins

Cell specific, gene specific promoter activation or repression. Imagine what you could do if you could pop a pill and upregulate just one gene by a scalar amount for a predictable timeframe?

My favourite application: activating retroviral genomes, so you could use in combination with HAART to clear residual HIV infection.
