I found this + the op's comments fascinating purely because I wouldn't have been able to tell if both were real, or just fake technical talk of the ilk my friends and I sometimes do with meaningless software/hardware jargon as a joke, without Googling.
- noname123 11y agoWell, for the record, I am a programmer working at the Broad, a genomics center that is mired in the current CRISPR patent dispute (although I don't work with CRISPR at all). The answerer I believe is a MD/PhD at Mass General Hospital and before that a research scientist at the Broad working on genomics (and so is the author of the cited paper on mouse liver, small world here on HN). So I can be full of BS, but I don't think the answerer is. Tbh, I intentionally added a few more jargons more than necessary (I could have just asked "Can gene editing be effective in live humans T-cells vs. cells on a petri dish?") to field my question; but I intentionally did so to filter out the pop-sci, speculative futurists to get answers from people in life sciences research.
