PROGRAMMING LIFE. “Today a scientist can write a long genetic program on a computer …then use a synthesizer to convert that digital code into actual DNA… when a faux chromosome gets plopped into a cell, it will be able to direct the destruction of the cell’s old DNA and become its new “brain” — telling the cell to start making a valuable chemical, for example, or a medicine or a toxin, or a bio-based gasoline substitute.””
