How to build synthetic DNA and send it across the internet | Dan Gibson

Ғылым және технология

Biologist Dan Gibson edits and programs DNA, just like coders program a computer. But his "code" creates life, giving scientists the power to convert digital information into biological material like proteins and vaccines. Now he's on to a new project: "biological transportation," which holds the promise of beaming new medicines across the globe over the internet. Learn more about how this technology could change the way we respond to disease outbreaks and enable us to download personalized prescriptions in our homes.

    First. I am not a doctor or medical field worker so i didn't understand all the words in the presentation but; Using this technology as the way the Mr. Dan Ginbson presented is very dangerous, he mentioned that his team is thinking about the security issues of this technology but he said that with governments help this issue will be solved but actually this is the problem, Governments should not be trusted for the security of the technology, have you heard politicians requesting math scientists and programmers to leave backdoors in encryption algorithms to be used later by government officers why to fight terrorism, some governments are the official face of terror, What if a major country government (like U.S., Russia or China govts.) requested to stop or not allow DNA printers to work in some countries (i.e. North Korea, Iran or Yemen) who will help fighting diseases and curing patients? The answer is no one.

    what a nice way to manipulate the verbage on essentially injecting genetically modified synthetic codes into humans having no understanding whatsoever of the large scale consequences of using such codes on a living cell, farless the implications of what the uptake of such synthetic codes by other organisms, will be. If Monsanto's genetically modified herbicides caused cancer rates to skyrocket in those who came directly and indirectly in contact with that product, I can only imagine what these genetically modified injectables will do to people. Cells are themselves complex and they work in harmony with a complex ecosystem that is our biome. This is nothing short of a bio-exploit that is being rushed onto the market for the purpose of greed and using vaccines and gain of function viruses as the synthetic catalyst in that approach. It's reproachable. No wonder he was sweating throughout his entire speech.

Saying that you are writing sentences and paragraphs is not a good analogy because when you write a sentence or paragraph you know what that sentence and paragraph means but with DNA that is overwhelmingly not the case.

    As much as it's neat (in a morbid way) to think of how these could be the start of Resident Evil, or how lame it is to consider that (pretty sure) current interplanetary law dictates that we cannot contaminate other worlds like Mars with new biological material at least until we know for sure it is entirely barren, technology like this will meet a lot of resistance and red tape. The most powerful and useful advances in science will always be held back the worst, and for the wrong reasons. If these went international, the UN would have to regulate and closely guard them, I would think, no matter what country they're in. At least for the foreseeable future.

    Pretty sure there's no intact dinosaur DNA intact, so anything similar to the Jurassic Park story is impossible. They're already struggling with the woolly mammoth. Also this method is creating single celled organisms and viruses, not stem cells of more complicated organisms that could be used for creating the first stages of an embryo. Also breeding a huge organism requires a womb or egg of some kind, which is all a lot more complicated than printing a DNA strand and implanting it into a cell.

    I don't think so. Although you could print the DNA of the dinosaur if you had the info

    Cool stuff, but having a genomes is not having an organism.
