This has requirements, in addition to those, We need to come up with answers for how altering the chromosomal DNA of Neurons is safe, because it looks very unsafe (it probably is). One of the teams sending out a survey was looking into replicons, possible collaboration there. We will need to mention that we should have a cell profiler and will point mutate what we can to prevent accidental transduction of unrelated signal pathways.
BCR has bioterror early warning applications, maybe worth mentioning (Unless its a state secret)

Welcome!
