TELEPORTING DNA FOR QUICK VACCINES PART I. "We are now engaged in finding new ways to head off pandemics by being able to read the code of flu strains and very rapidly produce vaccines to stop them. We received the sequence from them in digital form by email and converted it back into DNA to produce the vaccine in about 10 hours." (Craig J Venter). http://lnkd.in/dB4m5rE View in LinkedIn

DARPA SEEKS FAST DNA VACCINES. "After losing more than 1 million service days during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars to severe diarrhea in troops, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency wants to combat the problem by making drugs based on nucleic acids such as DNA rather than the weakened or dead proteins typically used in vaccines.""

SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY AS COUNTER-BIOTERRORISM: most of the literature on bioterrorism appears stuck in a bygone era. Synthetic biology allows a vaccine to be developed very rapidly once the DNA of the biological agent is known (DNA vaccines). It also does not need a cold chain and can be nasally delivered. http://lnkd.in/dXcMHbj View in LinkedIn

VENTER'S DBC FOR DNA VACCINES. "The future will be that if you have a [bacterial] infection you quickly get its genome sequenced – that will take minutes – and in a very short period of time we could design a phage that would attack just that bacteria very specifically ... making just the DNA of the one a person needs is enough ...The DNA is the drug that kills the bacteria." http://lnkd.in/d4sgBQY View in LinkedIn

VENTER'S DIGITAL BIOLOGICAL CONVERTER. "If there is a pandemic ... you can download the vaccine in a couple of seconds from the internet ... That digital file would allow DBCs ... to "just spit out a loaded syringe" ... their current prototype is already capable of producing DNA precisely enough that it could be used as a vaccine." http://lnkd.in/d4sgBQY View in LinkedIn

DARPA FUNDED THE VENTER DNA VACCINE MACHINE. "We call it a Digital Biological Converter. And we have the prototype ... (To) receive DNA sequences over the internet to synthesise proteins, viruses and even living cells. The current prototype ... is eight feet long and six feet high ... The current prototype can produce only DNA, not proteins or living cells ... Some vaccines are made using just DNA molecules." http://lnkd.in/d4sgBQY View in LinkedIn
