mRNA's next challenge: Will it work as a drug?

the exact sequences could be proprietary secrets.

when you have determined a sequence of RNA corresponding to a desired protien you may construct a DNA template with modification to suit your purpose.

the DNA polymerase used for DNA PCR is originally from a high tempurature tolerant organism, [thermophillic bcterium] and it is possible via searching high and low to find an organism that bears high temperature tolerant rdRNApol

and BTW the original inventor of PCR [kary mullis]

was awake AF on LSD when he conceived of this technology while sitting on a park bench.

i believe the original PCR was performed MANUALLY! with glassware and perfectionist tedium.

Thanks for the Kary Mullis story. I performed thousands of PCRs and even made some batches of taq many years ago but never knew about its ideation! I knew some pretty out there biochemists though.
