Genetic engineering is the manipulation of DNA to make biologically useful substances. Combining programming and biotechnology, called Programmable Biotech, enables programming of living systems. BioDesign is a new approach to generate technology using nature's design principles. Computer-aided design (CAD) is used for making three dimensional models of components or structures. BioCAD can make three dimensional models of microscopic or nanoscopic structures that either already exist or could exist in nature. The blueprints (code) are then compiled into machine-readable instructions that run on machines called synthesizers to produce biological parts and machines. These biological parts and machines are analogous to electronic parts and computers that combine to form technology such as smartphones and apps using computer software
Programming is the method of combining a set of instructions to perform a task. Computers are not intelligent, they do not know how to perform tasks, so we must tell them exactly what to do by using programming languages. Programming is the process of writing or typing instructions to perform a task in a certain amount of time, order and precision so that it can be understood by both humans and computers. When you write code you create instructions for your computer to execute - this may mean loading files from disk or accessing data from memory (RAM), displaying text on screen etc., all these things require instructions written in some form of programming language which tells the computer what actions should be taken if certain conditions apply (such as when an input button is pressed).
Genetic engineering is the manipulation of DNA to make biologically useful substances.
DNA is the code of life, containing all the information needed to build and maintain living organisms. DNA has two strands, each strand is a sequence of four molecules called nucleotides (A,T,C and G). The sequence of these molecules makes up all living things on earth.
Biotech is the manipulation of DNA to make biologically useful substances. Programming is the method of combining a set of instructions to perform a task. Combining these two things, called Programmable Biotech enables programming of living systems.
Programmable Biotech is the process of using genetic engineering to create biological robots or even self-replicating organisms!
BioDesign is a new approach to generate technology using nature's design principles. BioDesign can be used to generate technology that either already exists or could exist in nature.
For example, the human body has eyes and ears that can detect light and sound waves but cannot detect magnetic fields. Thus, we cannot hear using our eyes or see using our ears. However, if we were able to design an animal with magneto-receptors in their eyes and ears (or vice versa), this would allow them to "hear" with their eyes and "see" with their ears!
BioCAD is the combination of biology, computer science and engineering. With BioCAD, you can make three dimensional models of microscopic or nanoscopic structures that either already exist or could exist in nature.
The blueprints are then compiled into machine-readable instructions that run on machines called synthesizers to produce biological parts and machines. Synthesizers are analogous to computers in that they can execute thousands of instructions per second and they use different hardware (e.g., a CPU) to do it.
Biotechnology is the study of life, and it's not something that you can just put on your shelf like a book or a toy. Biotechnology is alive—it grows, it changes and it learns. Biotechnology is used to make biological parts and machines (like living cells or gene-edited crops) that are analogous with electronics parts and computers that combine to form technology such as smartphones and apps using computer software.
Biology can be programmed just like computer software: there are many types of programming languages used to create programs for computers; but in order for these programs to work properly they must be able to talk back-and-forth between each other so that information can flow between them seamlessly without any glitches along the way! The same concept applies when we want our biological systems (bacteria for example) working together efficiently as well - communicating effectively through chemical signals called “pheromones” which allow them perform tasks such as cleaning up waste products from our bodies!
Biotechnology has also been used extensively in agriculture since being introduced into Brazilian agriculture nearly 50 years ago by Professor Euclydes Pinto Coelho who helped bring his knowledge about fertilizer use during World War II back home after finishing his studies abroad."
Programming is the method of combining a set of instructions to perform a task. Biotechnology is the manipulation of DNA to make biologically useful substances (like human insulin). Combining programming and biotechnology is called Programmable Biotech because programmers can write code that tells cells what to do, just like they write code for computers.
So when you have Programmable Biotech, you can use computer programming language to tell cells what to do!
We hope that you have learned more about the exciting new field of Programmable Biotech and how it can be used to solve problems in the world. This is just one example of what can be done with programming and biotechnology; there are many other uses for this technology.
