And if you're then interested in the history of a piece of DNA, or the whole genome, you can reconstruct the history of the DNA with those differences you observe.

Like taking the DNA of a fish and putting it into the DNA of a tomato.

Synthetic DNA, the ability to synthesize DNA, has changed at sort of the same pace that DNA sequencing has over the last decade or two, and is getting very rapid and very cheap.

And so we are going to use molecules and refashion this thing, rebuild everything from the bottom up, using DNA in ways that nature never intended, using DNA origami, and DNA origami to seed this algorithmic self assembly.

So, this is normal DNA, what you think of as normal DNA.

It's humanity's DNA.

And if you're then interested in the history of a piece of DNA, or the whole genome, you can reconstruct the history of the DNA with those differences you observe.

The next thing is, that virus DNA made stuff that chopped up the bacteria DNA.

I've been messing around making DNA chips that is, printing DNA on glass.

like taking the DNA of a fish and putting it into the DNA of a tomato.

It feels the DNA origami.

DNA at 60

And it has no DNA.

We have our nucleic DNA that everybody thinks of as our DNA, but we also have DNA in our mitochondria, which are the energy packets of the cell.

And you can make a map of the Americas and spell DNA with DNA.

DNA is a very elegant molecule.

The DNA of German Foreign Policy

like DNA data or brain data.

A hypervariable region (HVR) is a location within nuclear DNA or the D loop of mitochondrial DNA in which base pairs of nucleotides repeat (in the case of nuclear DNA) or have substitutions (in the case of mitochondrial DNA).

DNA fingerprinting uses segments of DNA that do not affect the look or taste of the grapes.

And there are little chemical scissors, called restriction enzymes which cut DNA whenever they see particular patterns.

DNA tests showed he was innocent.

You can use DNA origami for that.

Craig Venter on DNA and the sea

Now, a quick primer on DNA.

This huge package of DNA is called a chromosome.

Writing down the DNA was an interesting step.

It is not like the DNA knew.

It's humanity's DNA.

There are many ways of casting molecular spells using DNA.

DNA is a very elegant molecule.

Synthetic DNA, the ability to synthesize DNA, has changed at sort of the same pace that DNA sequencing has over the last decade or two, and is getting very rapid and very cheap.

We have our nucleic DNA that everybody thinks of as our DNA, but we also have DNA in our mitochondria, which are the energy packets of the cell.

So that's DNA origami. That's one way. There are many ways of casting molecular spells using DNA.

However, these breaks disrupt and damage the DNA when they are copied as DNA replicates.

We could look at the DNA of two species that exist today and see how similar is that DNA.

So we see a bottom up approach here, because all the information, as I said, are inside the DNA.

So I've joined a growing band of people that try to make molecular spells using DNA. We use DNA because it's cheaper.

Function Integration occurs following production of the double stranded viral DNA by the viral RNA DNA dependent DNA polymerase reverse transcriptase.

So I've joined a growing band of people that try to make molecular spells using DNA.

DNA is extracted from a blood sample.

So again, we begin with DNA.

The DNA is organized in words, call them genes and chromosomes.

Paul Rothemund details DNA folding

A gene is a segment of the DNA molecule.
