@simon_brooke this is an amazing write up on DNA from a programmer perspective incidentally https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/amazing-dna/ I completely agree that we'll see a merger between programming and biotech going forward. And yeah it's amazing to see this stuff in action! |
@yogthos I've been predicting this for twenty years. DNA is clearly a Turing machine (not necessarily U), and it builds physical structures from chemicals.
As any Turing-equivalent machine can encode any other Turing machine (whether equivalent or not), it's been inevitable that we'd eventually learn to do this in software (although I guessed we'd do it by reverse engineering DNA).
Still, brilliant to see it working!
