In a just world, these promise a utopia: an end to disease, scarcity, and toil.

In our world, they risk becoming instruments of control: genetic stratification, algorithmic justice, and the end of digital and mental privacy.

The technology itself is neutral. The power structures it enters are not. The fight for our future is the fight for who controls these tools.

UK scientists plan to construct synthetic human genetic material from scratch - finally, we can debug humanity's source code! 🧬

This 5-year project aims to build DNA sections in labs to develop therapies for diseases. Though I suspect we'll find a lot of legacy spaghetti code from evolution.

Scientists have created the first spider that produces silk that glows red under UV light.

By splicing coral DNA into orb-weaver spiders, researchers created a biohybrid material with potential uses in sensors, textiles, and optical tech. #technology #news #spider #dna #geneticengineering

A red silk gene was added to the spider's genome resulting in it producing a fluorescent colored silk
New Atlas · World’s first gene-edited spider produces red fluorescent silkFor years, the CRISPR-Cas9 genome technology has been reshaping genetic engineering, a precision tool to transform everything from agriculture to medicine. With its incredible efficiency, this molecular tool has been applied to plants, animals, and even bacteria. But until now, no one has used…
