Comment on The Villain of CRISPRparent

That is far more easily explained by contamination, which, as you mention, is actually how they explain it in papers.

Here is another (supplementary table 2). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26121415

I can keep going, but would prefer you bring references of your own so I cannot be accused of cherry picking.

I'm assuming you're trolling so I will stop responding. CRISPR isn't my field and I'm not going to dig into supplements to disprove your theory, which is that CRISPR is not real somehow? I work in the Church lab. I know tens of researchers personally who use this technology. I am confident that CRISPR is real. However, attempting to prove this to you is a waste of my time.

Why would you assume someone providing references that contradict your unreferenced claims is trolling? I am not trolling. Also, I am not claiming that the usual mechanism proposed to explain this data is wrong, only that the published data is just as consistent with a selection mechanism. AFAICT, no one knows either way.

Please link to the data that you believe contradicts my proposed mechanism.
