"A DNA synthesizer, it's sort of like a desktop printer, but instead of CMYK it prints ATCG. And you get the DNA back in an envelope, dried.
Last year I did a project in which I created a bacterium which, if you feed it to pigeons, it makes the pigeons, um, produce, er, defecate, it makes the pigeons shit soap."
Eet smakelijk!
Quoteit makes the pigeons shit soap."
:lulz: SCIENCE!
Ok, that's REALLY cool.
Biohacking is now, guys. And with the 4th gen nanopore sequencing, it's just going to get easier.
This is going to get interesting isnt it? The next couple of decades i mean- and not in a horrormirthy sort of way this time.

:lulz: "tired of walking your dog? Cant stand stepping in dogshit at night because you are unwilling to exert the effort to turn on the lights? Bioluminescent dog food is just the thing you need."
im starting to think we need to produce infomercials.
Only has a six day half life too. Still less toxic than fucking cat shit. And at least you can see dogshit. Cats hide it. In your slippers, your plant pots, on top of bookshelves, cats are rank! Dogs are
