(Spoiler: it worked, very well in fact!)
- koeng 6y agoIm a bit suspicious of the lactose experiment, mainly because there wasn’t hard data to back it up. Back then there was a spurt . AFAIK there are two people who have DIY gene engineered themselves and have actually gotten data to back it up, but only 1 who is public about it, and it wasn’t a cool experiment (just showed RNA transcription) so it isn’t even easy to find. Josiah Zayner pretty much knows everyone who has tried DIY gene injection and over the last year or so there has actually been a decrease in people trying it (bit stale from 2019, but here is his presentation at BioHTP https://youtu.be/1QOFDpYnEgY?t=4904 https://youtu.be/1QOFDpYnEgY?t=4904)
