Re: [DIYbio] Re: Were the DIY CRISPR kits contaminated?

After just catching up on this discussion, in its many interesting permutations, I feel I should just add that your solution, Rüdiger, is not only of great interest but also quite topical, as we are just organising a public event about phage therapy at Hackuarium.  (We had another a while ago, apparently, but that was before my time...)

So, anyway, if there is any chance people might be around Lausanne at the end of next month (28march), you are invited to join us, and we can discuss this all further (possibly around a beer!).  The event is already up in the Hackuarium web page.

Just to get back on topic, I applaud all who contributed to solving this issue of the 'banned odin kit,' and hope to see more collaborative efforts and less hype in the future.  DIT Research is the way forward, imho...  (Of course we are very keen on the diybio.org code of conduct, too!)  It seems to me that those who bundle together transhumanism with biohacking are not generally helping, but that is another story, and I am very new to all this.

I would add that I personally am quite interested in trying the non-cutting crispr to probe sub-nuclear dynamics, so if anyone else has great tools for that, please let me know!

Thank you very much!

best wishes!

Sounds like that is your fault. Why didn't you post them online publicly?

In the computer security industry there's a common practice known as
"Responsible disclosure", where you let a company know they messed up
and give them ~6 months to try fixing their issues before going
public.

Sounds like it's well past time to release your comments publicly.
