Does genomic splicing always leave evidence? Codons that betell the mechanisms of the editing? I understand about convergent evolution, I'm just asking if there's anything else to go on here than blind faith in a not-conspiracy. If it were engineered, I don't believe we would be able to tell by a made-in-China tag, and I don't think that gene therapy's viral editing proteins necessarily leave clear evidence behind in the genome, unless I am mistaken in my recollection of my acid-washed education in molecular biology. Pretty sure we can just peel DNA apart at a target set of codons and insert clean code, no?

This is to say, the only 'evidence of human interference in the genome' would be by counterintelligence, right? Our mechanisms don't leave framing codons that we can't extract or anything like that, right? And the "evidence of convergent evolution" is nothing more than the alternative theory, right, or is there something compelling to explain a natural history of the germ?

any insight or just the Steve Novella gut rxn? u nerd [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
