What do you think the odds are that you can insert a gene of choice and have it work as expected (e.g. a florescent gene)?

Do you think it will take a lot of trial & error?

Will it beat the shotgun approach to gene insertion in terms of costs?

So you are implying that you can shove a custom gene pretty much anywhere in that gene and have it work?

What do you think (or know) the error rate is in your custom constructed DNA strands?
