- w1ntermute 11y agoLol and the GP is a cofounder of Experiment (YC W13), "an online community and a crowdfunding platform for scientific research." You really have to wonder how much due diligence YC does on its biotech founders.
- dluan 11y agoI actually ask that question myself all the time :)
- dluan 11y agoSorry, I meant that CRISPR is helping people design much faster. Hopefully it will open the door for more people to design and use it, but I don't think DNA synthesis is the real technical bottleneck for new ideas here. Current cloning techniques seem to be fine tools, but I'm unaware of immediate research questions blocked by printing huge amounts of DNA any faster than current methods.
