Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.  I’m Fred Fishkin.    Technology to create new life forms is here today.  This is the first report in a four part series.    A company called Genyro using an exclusive license of Sidewinder, developed at CalTech…has done it.   It was a new type of virus….that opens the door.   Co-founder and CEO Dr. Adrian Woolfson is also the author of a new book arriving this month.. On the Future of Species: Authoring Life by Means of Artificial Biological Intelligence.  He tells us this is different than Gene editing using a tool like CRISPR..

“We start with nothing, like a blank piece of paper.     And that’s what Sidewinder helps you to do.  It’s like a typewriter if you like, a DNA typewriter that types DNA narratives from nothing.”

Such as?  More on that in my next report.
