Synthetic Origins

Codon

I was reading a lot of molecular biology papers about different systems, especially circadian clocks, and also a book called Biological Feedback , by Thomas and D’Ari, that sketched out really simple models for different kinds of feedback circuits. The exported RNA could transfect just the target cell.

A Protein Printer

Codon

All cells make proteins in two steps: DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA, which is then translated into protein. It is the untouchable foundation of molecular biology. The ribosome is a molecular printer that threads ‘beads’ onto a protein string. This is simple.

Codon Digest: Seeing Colors After Gene Therapy

Codon

And that’s how I learned that there are published books that contain entire chromosome sequences. A real book that contains the full sequence of human chromosome 21. “The first printout of the human genome to be presented as a series of books, displayed in the 'Medicine Now' room at the Wellcome Collection, London. .”

But the technologies devised in the process of trying may revolutionize other areas of science, especially reproductive biology. Biology is a Burrito. The central dogma is often depicted as DNA→RNA→protein, but it’s much more: A biophysical marvel inside the smallest of vessels. 15 of 31.
