• Expanding Integrase/excisionase library

Conceptual questions

• In the abstract level, how could we live with imperfect efficiency? No matter writing mechanism we choose in the end, the fraction of cells whose genome is actually rewritten will likely to be significantly less than a hundred percent.
• What are the common/ different challenges between writing memory to DNA versus gene therapy/ transgenic?
• Why reaction of some DNA integration is irreversible but most other don't?
