A new Golden Age is about to dawn...

unlikely: You can't genetically change anyone who's already been born.
I doubt anyone above the trailer trash level will be genetically altering their baby daughters for bigger boobies.

This is purely for the benefit of future generations. They'll thank us someday

I don't know this Gene guy, but I'd like to shake his hand.

For Science!

Only to the extent that expecting moms and dads are willing to go into the clinic and say, "yeah, since you're going in there anyway to correct her genetic predisposition to near-sightedness and high blood pressure, why don't you give her a nice set of hooters while you're at it."

The researchers were only able to isolate the gene upon wiring a 1985 Tandy XL to a generic Barbie doll, all while the researchers wore brassieres on their heads.

Regularly scheduled BIE thread?

\need something nice to counter all my redlit subs
\\please? EIP

You might want to read up on what a retrovirus does.

Apparently you can. Gene Therapy.

Don't spoil this for me. Don't.

I'm not sure I understand what this means. Can anyone help me with some pics of what the effects might be?

Pics or it didn't happen.

The Biggs Bosom has been discovered.Beerguy: Higgs Boson... shmoson

THIS is a Scientific discovery!!!

The Biggs Bosom!

I love science.

WhippingBoy: Don't spoil this for me. Don't.

Oh, I didn't say it wasn't going to happen.

Talk about beaten to it... even had it in the text I quoted.
I'll just slink away into a corner now. :^p

Big deal. Get back to me when they find the gene responsible for breast number.

I would like 4 very nice sized ones please. I do a great impersonation of twin outboard Chryslers.

Cancer cells beg to differ.

Can't wait to see the petite girls with natural Double Deez. Also, I'm sure this will be popular in Brazil.

Retroviruses would like a word with you.

Weener gene next? Human Tripod for the win.

I hate nasty saggy floppy titties.

Give me a nice perky set of Cs anyday.

There are plenty of people with money that aren't above the trailer trash level. Just saying...

The actual study was done by 23andme, a commercial testing company that collects a ton of survey data. This lets them retroactively analyse for correlations. These people discovered the gene for Unibrow because it was never really worth running a proper study. Similar breast size, it was never a funded study, but they could just go data-mining.

This study used about 16,000 white people's SNP markers and they found seven markers surrounding six genes. That's not "pinpointing" anything. These genes are known to be related to hormonal secretion, and gland development, which makes sense as the mammaries are big hormonal glands.

Finding SNPs means we don't yet know how it works, but at least we know where to look. Selections based on chromosomal regions may one day be possible, to ensure your children get the correct grandparent's gene (otherwise a random one in four). It also lets us look for correlated effects. There should be nearby genes that influence other traits and are inherited together.

Interesting numerical method:
"Bra size was coded from 0 to 9, corresponding to the categories: Smaller than AAA, AAA, AA, A, B, C, D, DD,
DDD, and Larger than DDD, respectively. Mean size was 4.99 (just under a "C" cup) and the standard deviation
was 1.45."

(sets out chair)

Don't mind me...just gonna hang out for a bit.

what the hell.....a bookmark

What about density? Nipple size? Puffiness? Tautness? Hawtness?

There is still a LOT of work to be done here people! GBTW!

This gives me great hope. Some day science will actually be able to fix women so that they meet my approval.
