I think it's got to be even harder than that.

First, DNA curls. So any "magic frequency" changes cell-by-cell depending on exactly how it's curled. Putting that aside, bacterial DNA looks like human DNA: the chemistry is the same. Only the content is different. You can't attack an A group to T group: you need a frequency that attacks the whole thing coherently. Figuring that out will be Real Doggone Hard, and building a transmitter that precise will be Real Doggone Hard.

Target the molecular chemistry of the transcription process. That is the only time you will see the internal sequence of the DNA or RNA going past during replication. You need gene scissors, not a microwave oven.

Agreed.

@roxyboy -- this thread will remain closed. If you have a valid reference that you want to ask questions about, start a new thread and post links for the reference and ask *specific* questions about that reference. Please avoid making assertions at PF that are not backed up by the mainstream scientific literature.
