I’ve gone slightly manic with the fermenting, today adding mango habanero hot sauce and fire cider to the mead, ginger bug, apple cider vinegar and kimchi I’ve already made. Soon I will be able to ferment even greater things like oak trees and Germans.

CRISPR came from yogurt bacteria. GLP-1s came from Gila monster venom. Taq polymerase came from hot spring bacteria. As much as we like to think that progress in biotech is driven by human design, our biggest breakthroughs over the years have all originated from nature.

The ocean is one of the last great frontiers of biology. More than 90% of all marine life (an estimated 2M species) have not been discovered. Also, only ~10% of the seafloor has been mapped at 100m resolution, "as compared to 100% of...Mars and Venus." We should sequence…

Everyone thinks biotech is being held back bc of funding, or because it’s complicated but actually it’s because we don’t have enough analog switches and buttons.

You thought systemd was bloat? You're running genetic code that needs to build lizard hands before making human hands because of 250M years old technical debt

"For a brief period in the womb, human babies have extra lizard-like muscles in their hands, as shown in the scan below. Why? Because 250 million years ago, our ancestors were reptile-like creatures that had those muscles all their lives." [Link below.]

Another month, another insane protein design paper from the Baker Lab. This time: Designing binders for intrinsically disordered regions, a common & important component of proteins we care about, with the help of a diffusion model In @Nature last week


Has anyone tried just asking the DNA nicely?

I'm working towards making a blue lima bean. Along the way, I made the bright yellow one here.
