quote:Stanford scientists saved drops of the COVID-19 vaccine destined for the garbage can, reverse engineered them, and have posted the mRNA sequence that powers the vaccine on GitHub for all to see. In a world that has been very cyberpunk indeed lately, this seems like a new high watermark. It's like half a page of GATACA each for Phizer and Moderna. Too bad I don't have a wet printer to print that poo poo out on, I guess. Someone probably does, though.

It's super neat but it's not cyberpunk until some independent hacker did it and is now on the run from Phizer and Moderna corporate reclamation teams. Seeking to disappear, he flees to South America, embarking on a series of exciting and erotic adventures as he makes his way to Peru...

Just found this rad article where they go through them character-by-character, and also apparently someone has actually printed it on a DNA printer, which is not only a thing but it looks like a HP:

how long until we get domestic DNA printers tbh i'd loving love to print poo poo like meds to stop my weird dairy allergy (that's been done before but its pretty complex) or print a vaccine

honestly this is probably going to make me sound dumb as gently caress but im tired so im posting it and then going to bed since DNA "code" seems... idk, fairly similar to binary, almost, i wonder if we'll ever get something that's like a programming language but for DNA instead of software because i mean all a programming languge really is is an abstraction of machine code instructions to make it easier for humans to write complicated programs to me, it seems fairly possible that such a thing could also exist for DNA at some point

the end of the world will come when somebody designs a virus that turns the human brain into a bitcoin mining rig somehow it'll become airborne and we won't find a cure in time to stop critical masses of workers from spending their days calling out arcane series of numbers instead of eating/sleeping/etc the stupidest apocalypse imaginable

I figured that would be the sequence but actually there's a typo: that C there in the middle should be a G. If you inject that thing you'll be growing big veiny dongs everywhere.

u ever think about how much junk data is in DNA and then also that if you had to store a bunch of data on the long term, making a bunch of self-reproducing organic molecules with error-correcting code built in would be the perfect way to do it?

I think I've read a really good scifi story about something like that. Activist releases a retrovirus that turns people green and lets them generate approximately 2000 calories per day from photosynthesis and it breaks capitalism lol

At the very least it is load bearing comments. If you take out the junk DNA from production you will have a very bad support day.

How does a DNA printer work and what exactly do you get as output? Is it a single DNA molecule in a vial? What is it suspended in? How does this get used? I have many questions and I'm too dumb to use Google.
