Ginkgo Bioworks, a Boston company specializing in “engineering custom organisms,” aims to reinvent manufacturing, agriculture, biodesign, and more.
Biologists, software engineers, and automated robots are working side by side to accelerate the speed of nature by taking synthetic DNA, remixing it, and programming microbes, turning custom organisms into mini-factories that could one day pump out new foods, fuels, and medicines.
While there are possibly numerous positive and exciting outcomes from this research, like engineering gut bacteria to produce drugs inside the human body on demand or building self-fertilizing plants, the threat of potential DNA sequences harnessing a pathological function still exists.
That's why Ginkgo Bioworks is developing a malware software to effectively stomp out the global threat of biological weapons, ensuring that synthetic biology can't be used for evil.
Learn more about synthetic DNA and this biological assembly line on this episode of Focal Point.

I'm more concerned about the implications of corporations having patents on life. Monsanto's fuckery in this realm is proof that greed overcomes ethics. When they bioengineered a new strain of seed, and then tried to destroy the naturally occuring origin seeds, so that they could monopolize the patent on their new strain, that's when you have to start questioning the legality of such ownership.

One of my concerns is that a synthetic micro-organism will get out of the lab, and then have devastating unintended consequences. This is the nature of technological advancement. When humans first discovered how to use fire, this meant that a single person could now burn down the forest, either by accident or deliberately. And this is exactly what happened on many occasions. Though, the consequences with biotechnology could be much larger and affect the entire planet.

The hole point of life from nature's perspective, is to make more of your DNA, we have surpassed nature. So more DNA Copies of me = Good. Maybe your fear is that they will clone you if they got your DNA . But why you afraid of that? there is 7 billion humans on this planet, and about 4,5 billion people that have almost identical DNA to you. adding a few more will make no difference. Or what precisely are they gonna doo with that DNA other that research a grand picture of humans past. I suppose one could make a identity tift thing, if we had the teck and the right to clone human clones in fully grown state. we dont. But if we did well it be real weird, and also by the time we do i think we can make clones of people just by having a image of them, and designing the features on pc. Well im saying it there's bigger problems to worry about that ho got you DNA, unless you really scared of identity theft.

@oldblinddarby2498 4 года назад
Having worked in this field since 2008, I can say that thus far, I've literally never seen the military influence any bio research (not in person), nor have I met anyone who has. I'm not saying research can't or won't be abused, but that most scientists care about science above profit, and especially for biologist, the resistance to military involvement is strong due to the inherent love of life, and militaries propensity toward extinguishing of life. I became a biologist because I can think of nothing more interesting nor important, nothing more valuable, nothing more rare than life. We take it for granted due to its abundance on earth, but we shouldn't. It's the most magical thing in the universe. Life is the fundamental forces of the universe, applied with intent. The remaining 99.9999999999% of the universe is pure accident. Most biologists believe as I in this regard and can think of nothing more reprehensible than using our knowledge to end life. Understanding, helping, and even controlling of life from the micro to macro levels are what we're born to do. But not ending... not for those of us with a conscience and a passion for biology.

The problem here is the organisms will be patented, just like some corporations can sue you if you grow their crop on your land. For example: at around 8:00 they speak of engineering a microbe that can fixate nitrogen and at the same time grow in symbiosis with the plants to reduce ferilizer needs even increasing yield. But we already have many natural micorrhizae, but none of those pre existing organisms can be patented because you cannot patent nature unless obviously bred or in this case, genetically modified. The only thing these corporations are after is owning and patenting and therefor making money off the last parts of the cycle that they do not own yet.

I've thought about microplastic cleanup for a couple of years now, bear in mind it's too far gone for reuse, reduce and recycle and bleach cleaning is largely superficial with no significant impact on the global stage. This tool will mean taking more control of the world as it is, but considering we are already making a mess of the world, we're running out of options.

Basic hydrocarbons can be constructed from (concentrated) CO2 and water with a cheap catalyst and the heat from the sun (literally back yard level science). Knitting them together into gasoline is done in refineries all the time. The main problem is finding a catalyst that can withstand millions of cycles of being heated to red hot and then cooled quickly.

Maybe your timeline as human in this planet is not (and will never be) long enough compared with nature's, but the work of nature is way more complex and interconnected than a simple intelligence contest. For you nature in one side is, "not intelligent" and "pure chaos without direction", but in the other hand, "was the nature that mutated us for intelligence so that it could start engineering itself instead of relying on the random chances of mutated DNA because of radiation and such"... Sorry, but you're not coherent. It's not a practical problem due to the fact that we in this planet do not have enough life forms and we need more: it´s a greed and power problem and nature got great power, but has no greed. That's the point of balance for all species: nothing was done by design; was done by chance, trial & error and lots and lots of time to test... You realize that, right?

Lars, my friend, your vision of things has more to do with fables than with an understanding of how everything interacts in a delicate and precise way. When nature wants to "make changes", it sends a meteorite, an earthquake, a volcanic eruption, a tsunami or mosquitoes in summer; It is true that it does not put humans in a laboratory, so there we go. On the one hand, your argument highlights the ineffectiveness that nature shows in making its processes so slow. You infer that nature "does not do so well" because, of course, the average human lives for about seventy-few years and cannot wait to see / discover / create a new species and that definitely does not fit that kind of evolutionary snobbery that It drives you. On the other hand, that very nature so slow and full of lacks, has the wonderful and magnanimous act of giving the human being that responsibility, as if nature thought and decided, as a god would. Of course, I suppose that the poor nature has to feel old and tired with so much frustrated experiment for years, so why not pass the ball to one of the most destructive species that stepped on and even steps on this planet, right? Very smart! A solid and devastating logic, without a doubt. I think your head was filled with an immediacy and an urgent need for something, but ... you have no idea why you are in that state "I don't know what I want, but I want it now". That is what I read in your comments. Of course we are an integral and indivisible part of nature, but we are neither his brain, nor his soul, not even his conscience. Nor are we his armed arm, his heir or his boss. We are the species that has a privileged degree of consciousness and nothing else. Creating species in a laboratory is a big mistake. That said, I wish you to be very happy with your beliefs, but there is no interest on my part in this talk that does not give me anything useful, nor any interesting argument on which to discuss and learn. Thanks for your time, anyway.

Right now we have socially awkward individuals who buy firearms and shoot Up schools, or hacker nerds who just want to watch the world burn because no one wants to touch their private parts, what happens when the biotechnology industry has a case of this and we end up with a strain of bacteria that destroys plankton and breaks the food chain?

This is always an exciting prospect. Combining the the genes for carbon sequestration, mineral and metal sequestration, silk protein production, photosynthesis, Chitin production, lignin production, and oxidization could potentially allow us to create an organism that as it grows it builds a biologically originated equivalent to concrete while also cleaning the air we breathe and the water we need for our survival. If we tightly control how the genes are expressed and how fast it grows, we could in theory grow buildings without having to build them, simply guide the organism into that shape without harming it. And if such an organism was single celled in nature with rapid reproduction, it might be possible to use it to better colonize other planets.
