DNA

“I mean, we're just seven, eight years into the tech bio thing, and that's going to go, that window will be open for 30 years. We're going to learn so much about DNA and what's going on there.”

“Why don't we just change the DNA so that our DNA creates a beautiful body for us in the probably late 20 thirties. That's going to be almost inevitable.”

“One of the things that this alpha fold three can do is predict what molecules will bind and promote certain sequences of DNA, which is exactly what we try and do with the Yamanaka factor based expression systems and find ones that won't trigger off target expr…”

“So if you're thinking of doing a DNA test, think about that before you do it, because they will own your DNA and they can sample it over and over and over. And that's how you keep getting new updates of the reports that they're creating, because they test it o…”

“This is probably the most important trajectory of what's underway in biology since the discovery of DNA.”

“A favorite analogy of our field is that DNA is kind of like software. It's code that you can program, and then when you put that custom DNA into a cell, the cell boots it up kind of like software. It's an imperfect analogy, and it often gets taken too far, but…”

“What scientists were able to do is they were able to take this video, the pixels from this video, and using CRISPR can coax a bacterial cell to ingest the information and store it in its DNA. And on the right, what you're seeing Is scientists' ability to retri…”

“We're now able to store data in DNA, which has a certain similarity to computation.”

“We've actually seen in the news recently this that malware was encoded in DNA and then it compromised and took over a machine involved in analyzing the sequences which is pretty wild stuff.”

“DNA and RNA are the two primary ways of storing information for biological organisms, and it's actually the first digital storage system, which is pretty interesting to think about it from that perspective.”
