Books
Read “EDNA – Enhanced DNA: Giving us full external control of our inner
biology” by our Ian D. Pearson and Tracey Follows at
https://amzn.to/3XpQVkD
An EDNA system would put advanced biotechnology and IT into every cell
of our bodies and enable interfacing to almost every aspect of our
current biology, and also provide a means to edit, replace, enhance,
mediate and control almost every aspect of it.
Much of the EDNA System is feasible in the next few decades, but as well
as enormous potential benefits, it would also bring enormous dangers. We
explore both.

Leech lattice to find its binding sites precisely. This implies that we
might be able to build the noise decoder in cellphones using a single
molecule.”
