Decoding DNA: Translating the Blueprint of Life
Just as
construction workers need a blueprint to build skyscrapers, all living
organisms need DNA sequence to build cellular components, manufacture important
molecules, and ultimately display the emergent and unique properties of life.
By decoding the universal language of DNA, we can unlock new secrets about life
and ourselves. DNA sequencing is an important field that is quickly developing new techniques and methods. The improvement of DNA sequencing technologies has been astonishing, especially considering that the structure of DNA was discovered a mere half-century ago. |
In this website, we will explore not only the
technical and technological applications
of DNA, but also the political, social, and economic ramifications that DNA
sequencing technology has had on our society today and tomorrow.
