This was pretty mindblowing, and the way the conference went down, I felt like I was understanding from a programming perspective… so nuts!
Must have been some serious trial and error.
haha Yes, it is very impressive!
Well, it is kind of like programming after all
Most science is like that: from failure to failure, until complete victory!
uhm…need some simple explanations , a short review cause it sounds like ‘chinese’ to me (I’m Greek so I understand greek
)
Now we can design cells with synthetic DNA. This may lead to and facilitate discovery and production of new vaccines, medicines, and biofuels, among other things.
Gotta love TED!
