DNA JOIN AND FORK CIRCUIT ANIMATION, another provocative clip. https://lnkd.in/dZuK7Zn View in LinkedIn

DNA STRAND DISPLACEMENT ANIMATION. It is hard to watch this brilliant animation and not think of intelligent molecules. Prions are just proteins that can replicate and evolve. Jumping genes are just strands of genetic code that have gained some lifestyle autonomy from the cell. Not just an idle thought. Life had to transition from the inanimate somewhere in the universe. http://research.microsoft.com/apps/video/default.aspx?id=228977 View in LinkedIn

DNA JOIN CIRCUIT. Video of the process. https://lnkd.in/dQrjeji View in LinkedIn

THE MASSIVE INVENTIVENESS of natural evolution is truly a spectacle to behold, from the endless quirkiness of physical morphology to the amazing creativity of genetics. Mobile genetic elements, viruses, bacteria and horizontal gene transfer have reinvented themselves millions of times over by every method unimaginable. Humans, but not Nature, are limited by their own imaginations. View in LinkedIn

"CONVERGENCE has been happening in the past decades between traditionally separated disciplines and making new hybrid disciplines such as bioinformatics, synthetic biology, nanobiology, computational biology, tissue engineering, and biomaterials." https://lnkd.in/dEAvzMk View in LinkedIn

INCREASING COMPLEXITY. "Just as with the IT revolution, synthetic biology started by designing simple circuits, such as on/off switches, for the DNA in bacterial cells. Then they built more complex circuits, including ways for living cells to communicate with each other and methods (analogous to software programs for biological circuits) to orchestrate the behavior of whole groups of cells in a variety of organisms—yeasts, plants, and mammalian cells." https://lnkd.in/dtkZj87 View in LinkedIn

NBIC. The phrase “convergent technologies” refers to the synergistic combination of four major “NBIC” (nano-bio-info-cogno) provinces of science and technology, each of which is currently progressing at a rapid rate: (a) nanoscience and nanotechnology; (b) biotechnology and biomedicine, including genetic engineering; (c) information technology, including advanced computing and communications; (d) cognitive science, including cognitive neuroscience." https://scholar.google.es/scholar?q=brain+machine+interface&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwjfqbGUoeHLAhWHQBQKHYrMCLwQgQMICDAA View in LinkedIn

GENES AS LEGO. "Juan Enriquez, a self-described “curiosity expert” and co-founder of the company Synthetic Genomics, compared the digital revolution spawned by thinking of information as a string of ones and zeros to the coming synthetic biology revolution, premised on thinking about life as a mix of interchangeable parts – genes and gene networks – that can be learned and manipulated like any language." http://news.berkeley.edu/2013/03/26/making-living-matter-programmable/ View in LinkedIn
