 * Delete. Google "smart gene" returns "intelligence-boost gene in mice (or another animals)" scientific articles. It is not the definition presented in this article (about genetic teraphy or disease treatment). Zero Kitsune (talk) 02:17, 20 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment This feels like it should be merged somewhere, but exactly where is escaping me at the moment. - Eldereft (cont.) 04:35, 20 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep and tag for expert review. I believe that this definition may in fact be correct, although my knowledge in the area is next to nil. However, look at these science articles and . I think that what this article is refering to is a gene therapy technique known as SMaRT (spliceosome-mediated RNA trans-splicing). A possible name change might be in order but the content looks like it is in keeping with these articles.Nrswanson (talk) 11:25, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I quite sure it doesn't refer to that technique, given that the article doesn't say a word about introns, and SMaRT has nothing to do with DNA computing. And I can't see how eternal tagging is a solution. Narayanese (talk) 15:10, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
