How to build synthetic DNA and send it across the internet | Dan Gibson

Показать описание

Biologist Dan Gibson edits and programs DNA, just like coders program a computer. But his "code" creates life, giving scientists the power to convert digital information into biological material like proteins and vaccines. Now he's on to a new project: "biological transportation," which holds the promise of beaming new medicines across the globe over the internet. Learn more about how this technology could change the way we respond to disease outbreaks and enable us to download personalized prescriptions in our homes.

The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and more.

A great tool at its full potential… for the right cause, full of hope in doing so much good with the rights minds / hands, for the people. Thank you, Dr. Dan Gibson.

I never imagined we have gotten THIS far on this subject already! I LOVE TED!

This guy is genius and we should be thankful for his research in this area. I hope he succeeds in his quest. We need more people like him in our society to progress.

Please make me 1 Kate Upton, whose genome is: ATTGACCCTAGGTTTGCA.... (am I going too fast for you?) AATCGCGATC...

There's an error in the video title, it's : " How to sell DNA data on the World Market "

Dan Gibson has given this talk quite a few times... at least that's what I hear in his voice.

This is insane, no idea the technology was this advanced 5 years ago, this is super cool!

First. I am not a doctor or medical field worker so i didn't understand all the words in the presentation but;

Using this technology as the way the Mr. Dan Ginbson presented is very dangerous, he mentioned that his team is thinking about the security issues of this technology but he said that with governments help this issue will be solved but actually this is the problem,

Governments should not be trusted for the security of the technology, have you heard politicians requesting math scientists and programmers to leave backdoors in encryption algorithms to be used later by government officers why to fight terrorism, some governments are the official face of terror,

What if a major country government (like U.S., Russia or China govts.) requested to stop or not allow DNA printers to work in some countries (i.e. North Korea, Iran or Yemen) who will help fighting diseases and curing patients? The answer is no one.

Real viruses can now travel instantly through the internet and pop up at the other side of the world as a digital clone.

Doing gibson assembly in our lab very routinely, seeing how young he is blows my mind!

How do you build the vaccine, simply from knowing it’s Genome? It isn’t as easy as that - if you just replicate the virus, well, it’s just that: the virus, causing immunity AND the disease - does anyone know, how exactly they built the virus? Are there any publications?
