AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the various methods for processing DNA, emphasizing both biological and non-biological techniques. While traditional methods often rely on biological processes such as enzymes and viruses for DNA manipulation, there is interest in exploring physical and chemical approaches, including the use of inorganic complexes and acids. Additionally, DNA can be synthesized base-by-base on solid-phase resin, allowing for microinjection into individual cells, although there are limitations on the length of DNA that can be synthesized this way. The conversation highlights the complexity and diversity of current DNA processing technologies.

What are the ways used for proces DNA Is it a biological way or there are new ways of proces it
on the molecular level (physical and chemical) and for the manufacture or injection of DNA within the cell (without the use of viruses or any old ways) ?

That's too general a question. There are far too many technologies and methods in use to detail all of them even generally. Just look up http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biotechnology" on Wikipedia and start reading and following the links.

i just can't write all technologies are Used now with DNA (CUT or Paste or delete some Sections of DNA) all technologies i know that use Biological methods (Enzymes or virus)
but i think there are (physical and chemical) way to do that think like Inorganic complexes
that used in Acids Amini
 
Hi Markone,

You can synthesize DNA base-by-base on a solid phase resin, though there are length limits. Yes, it can be microinjected into single cells.

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional. On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
