- nradov 2y agoNo, but when it comes to running experiments on animal subjects we do have to wait for ethics approval from an institutional review board.
- marcosdumay 2y agoWe have been doing that to animals and plants for thousands of years.
- walleeee 2y agoEngineering a direct/deterministic map from genotype to phenotype may not be possible. Networks of gene regulation are often complex and interwoven, there are translational steps acting upon the genetic code, and development is driven not only by genes but physical/mechanical/chemical/electrical goings-on.
