DNAöflun
DNAöflun is a term used in speculative biology and science fiction to describe a hypothetical process by which the functional capacity of DNA within living cells is amplified and regulated to alter gene expression and cellular traits. It is not a standard technique in contemporary molecular biology.
The word combines DNA with the Icelandic noun öflun, meaning amplification or empowerment, reflecting the concept's
In speculative models, DNAöflun would involve targeted modulation of DNA copy number, regulatory networks, and epigenetic
It is distinct from established methods such as PCR, which amplifies DNA in vitro, or gene therapy
In fiction, proposed applications include therapeutic upregulation of beneficial genes, rapid adaptation to environmental changes, or
