If all the testing turns out successful, you can basically use it to rewrite DNA however you want.

Yeah. Watch the TED video, it is fascinating.

I play too much geneforge to be optimistic about this lol

It will still probably be a major killer in Africa for decades.

P much this. I literally forced a population of bacteria to produce flourescent red proteins for me. It's crazy. It's like playing God.
