    @Africanlubo The computer doesn't actually create the DNA, they program the machine that makes it. But you can use computers to model specific new proteins and then get the DNA sequence to construct that protein. Or you can use computers to model 3D DNA - something called DNA origami useful for all sorts of things such as molecules for drug delivery. A Google search for DNA origami will turn up heaps
    Hope this helps, Jason, TechNyou

    One way it could be done perhaps (biologically) would be for the replicator to have a reservoir of specialised quickly-programmable "universal maker" bacteria which can each be programmed to construct and join a small segment of whatever object you wish to construct, and then die. So you'd start with a blob of bacteria, and it would gradually die off to reveal your object. This is the quickest (pie-in-the-sky) way to do it biologically that i can think of.

    This is as fascinating as scary at the same time. Scared of the easiness by which this is accessible to anyone, and fear of potentially creating a bacteria that becomes unstoppable..

  • @techNyouvids
    @techNyouvids  12 років тому

    This technology is just coming online, genetic engineering was just coming online in the 70's, some drugs from that work came out in the 70s and 80s, but the area really fired up in the 90s with patents, drugs and foods. That should give you an idea of the timeline we're talking. Although, computing power (which is a big factor in all of this) is a lot faster now than is was then, so we could be talking this decade, maybe next.

    This could also lead to some crazy ways to control humans behaviors. If one would create a synthetic parasite it could modify cells and therefore transform a person to the liking of the one who ingineered the parasite.

    Ultimately it is a enzyme from a termophilic bacteria(or archaea) that 'makes' the dna, its all coordonated by the computer and all the repetitive tasks are no longer done by hand by someone flipping switches but by robots controlled by a computer.

    Greed is good. Greed works.
    Seriously though, it's great that people try to develop new technologies to solve problems for humans. If they get rich in the process, it's just because they are producing useful services. Unintended consequences can always happen, but it's not the kind of thing you can let yourself be paralyzed by with the huge potential biotechnology has to assist humanity.

    No, at least no in the foreseeable future. You might be able to get it to out compete and provide immunity against one or a couple related organisms now (which would be tremendous), but now what you described in the near future. Still everything is possible in science so someday that or something similar could potential be possible.

Actually, I reckon genetic engineering is a matter of probability which means there we can see solution at least, but when it comes to brain networking part, god, extraterritorial yet. I want to born at the age when there's no language barrier as brain could be programmed like the genes.
