Scientists inadvertently bred a horde of unusually aggressive hamsters after a gene editing experiment to 'reduce aggression' went wrong. Researchers at Georgia State University produced new rodents without hormone vasopressin in an effort to raise 'social communication' between the rodents. Yet the chemical change turned the Syrian hamsters wild, prompting fights inside cages. The ultra-vicious hamsters were pictured pinning, biting and chasing each other.(Snip)The study's striking conclusions challenge scientists' understanding of the relationship between biology and behaviour.
The professor added: We don’t understand this system as well as we thought we did. 'The counterintuitive findings tell us we need to start thinking about the actions

So reassuring to see what they're working on, for our behalf.

Seems like those who played at zombies and zombie killers in the Night of the Living Dead larps at our esteemed universities in the early 2000's are secretly cheering this news. Perfect genetic engineering boys!

Stupid people should not be allowed to work on the DNA of any animal or human. We aren't smart enough to keep computers running without major downtime. How in the world will we determine how to program code using 6 letters? We can't! Even with Super Computers! It is too complicated and there are too many processes that we still don't understand at the cellular level!

There's an interesting pie chart.
One slice is "what we know". It is teeny tiny.
The next slice is a little fatter and is called "what we don't know".
The ENTIRE rest of the pie is "what we don't know we don't know".
This whole gene editing lives in the giant slice. AI lives in there too, and we'd better stop playing in a sandbox we know nothing about.

This was how the Dim party was manufactured.
Haven’t you ever wondered “where do these people come from?” ?

"We don’t understand this system as well as we thought we did."
Now if we could only get them to admit that about climate. The problem is, climate has become more a political issue instead of a science issue. Too many people are deeply invested in the political outcome to admit they are wrong. If the "scientists" want to keep their research paychecks from the politicians, they need to deliver the results the politicians want AND shut up about any conflicting information that arises. That makes the "scientists" partners in propaganda and useless.
The worst thing is, they are destroying SCIENCE, in general, to do this. The public is gradually becoming aware of their duplicity and will project doubt to all science.
Hopefully their is not a political use for vicious hamsters. If one is found, we will be swamped by them.

This should have been anticipated. Life is naturally a no holds barred kind of existence.. the gene "regulated" cooerative traits. The only thing its removal could have done was the actual result.
Some idiot put their personal philosophies ahead of their logic. Creatures are not naturally cooperative. Socioparhs may have damaged genes in a similar linkage.

Behavioral tendencies are genetic in animals, but in humans it's exaccerbated by socioeconomic factors, affirmative action, drug addiction, no father figure, self pity, education, gold chains, and ghettos.

Wonderful news!
First it upends the conventional understanding of the role of vasopressin in aggression.
Second, it shows that similar inborn and irreversible human traits might be responsible for nutty kids shooting up schools and each other.
Third, it shows that these hamsters should not be allowed to own guns.

Do not let the Biden criminals know.
If they learn about it, they will put it in breakfast cereal for us.

I would like to see ALL funding cancelled for research unless it is for diseases such as cancer or heart problems, etc., things that affect our citizens. We don't need to be doing all this other stuff. I still want to see Dr. Fraud with a box around his head and flesh eating bugs inside the box and can't get out, and his vocal cords cut so we don't have to listen to him scream.

The next thing I expect to hear about is that some of these hamsters have escaped from the lab and are breeding.

Reply 13, I think they have already have created a killer rabbit. I recall, some years back, it was reported that Jimmy Carter was attacked by an aggressive viscous rabbit in Georgia.

There is a belief where I part ways with much of religion. I cannot believe a God who knows the future would allow such nonsense. It is like giving an irresposible. teenaged boy and his equally irresponsible buds a fifth whiskey, a case of beer, a joint, a gun and keys to the car. The future is predictable and inevitable.

this tends to explain why so many staff continue to flee the WH--and the hyper aggressive rodents therein.

"...turned the Syrian hamsters wild, prompting fights inside cages."
Obviously, Hamsters can became converts to Islam, some Shia, while others Sunni.
There's a good chance Maury Povich might come out of retirement just to host a show featuring these Islamic Hamsters.
