Reverse translatase and protein amplification in particular.
How the fuck do you plan on selectively priming protein amplification. If you know ANY protein chemistry, you will know "the juice is not worth the squeeze" -- how would I exponentially amplify a protein? I'd do mass spec proteomics, synthesize the DNA, and express it.
Simply amazing that electrofixation is not on the list.
Which ones are not stupid?
Cryopreservation, even though I don't care much for it.
The rubisco one is sort of not dumb, but if you actually care about carbon fixation you'd just not bother using rubisco at all instead.
Programmable Proteases is fine.
Somatic regeneration is fine.
