...Unlike retroviruses, which scientists have been using to create iPS cells, these viruses effectively disappear after a few cell divisions and do not integrate into the cells’ DNA. The effect of this is that adenoviruses are free from the chief adverse effect of genetic manipulation, which can turn on cancer genes and trigger malignant tumor growth...
...Rasa, thinking of it as a way I could tie my space game into my space flight. We wanted originally just to send some of the player data and player votes on the greatest accomplishments in humanity, and we thought it'd be cool to send some of their DNA. But what we found was that suddenly famous people from all over were going, Hey, can you take mine? We actually called the Colbert show because we thought aha, our opportunity has availed itself once again, and as soon as we called they were all over...
...your own DNA going up? You know, strangely, one person we forgot to include was me. Of course, my DNA will physically be there; my skin cells will be on it. So you won't need to send my digital sequence...
...Aside from leaving your DNA behind and aside from your official experiments, is there anything you've wanted to do in space that you hope to get a chance to do while you're up there? No one's asked and therefore I've never said, but there is one kind of fun thing that I'm hoping I get a chance to do. When my father was on SkyLab, it had a big central chamber with this ring of lockers all the way around the perimeter; it was just big enough that you could run around and create enough...
Adenoviruses do not implant in the DNA of their human host and, thus, pose a reduced threat of cancer. Thus far, none of the mice in the study have shown any sign of tumor growth...
