>>13791356>>13791356>DNA is not very useful without knowing how genes are actually expressedThis is true, if you wish to pick and choose specific DNA traits, but shards in sufficient size or in the "correct" placement can be recombined by solid probabilistic guess work, kind of like gluing together fine china, if the problem is too large though through it is best done through a literal AI black box.
In short, you are simply gluing back the "shape" of the thing into a roughly viable zygote as opposed to figuring out how an exact gene will give it brown hair as opposed to blonde.
