If biological evolution is a 4-billion-year process of fine-tuning topological interfaces to lock onto survival forms and patterns from a high-dimensional latent space, what happens when human engineers manually construct novel topologies? The forms and behaviors we see at the our level are tried and true. The topological winding numbers of the phase singularities that anchor and regulate our body's bioelectric coupling and macroscopic cognitive boundaries have been optimized

Living Foundries is an ongoing synthetic biology project at DARPA , involving participants in academia, which aims to create the framework for an on-demand shop for creating novel molecules. The end-goal is a foundry for on-demand novel molecule creation for applied materials, adhesives, coatings for aircraft, pharmaceuticals, internal medicine and so forth. Its first 'customer' will be the Department of Defense, but the capabilities being brought to reality in this project m

Earlier in 2019, a more rapid and detailed analysis tool for gene editing experiments  was introduced-  CRISPresso2. CRIPSresso is a tool that will project accurate outcomes of potential gene edits in the context of research and experimentation. As tools like these continue to improve, the advances will cut down continually on research time for the public and private sector- gaining a more rapid stride in the direction of prolific gene editing.  At the same time these advan
