Bio Tech | Is It Theoretically possible to Write a Library That Can Mimick Dna ,Rna Or Xna

[NaturesWhistle]

I believe it entirely possible to create a Organism or even Create a Set of useful proteins From Scratch using Computer code
Ive thought of ways that you could write your own Library of Functions and behaviors and then Compile them down
into the base code

why do i reason this well Because such things already exist

there is a article that ive read a few times about bio engineer writing a Programming language

A programming language for living cells

MIT engineers have created a programming language to design complex, DNA-encoded circuits that give new functions to living cells. Using this language, anyone can write a program for the function they want, such as detecting and responding to certain environmental conditions.

My Theory is that anyone can write a library of instructions that can test the environment for example
write a Function that checks if the temperature is to hot or too cold.

or write a Object that defines the clear rules for basic Chemistry such Declaring

The the count of electrons in a atom or Combining to Atoms to make simple molecules

like fore Example H + 02 => H2O

But what if you could program a computer to Output Something more Complex Like a Amino Acid



If you could write a program that doesn't simulate this but at least outputs this sequence using an intermediate
form of representation of a Molecule that can describe this amino acid then you could in theory start to design proteins
then you can Begin to give it direction based on Structure Alone.

Theoretically if you knew the how organisms processes information From Dna, Rna, or XNA
you could pass those same instructions to maybe a Micro bot and tell it to collect Water break it apart then reassemble it
it into a Amino Acid using Chemical Processes from the Instructions You gave it produce a Protein with it

There is alot of potential in even Using Artificial Intelligence to Accurately Predict the best designs for an amino Acid based on
your set parameters of function


There is alot of room For improvement on this idea but it would be pretty cool to think about if we managed to do this

Please Correct me on any grammar mistakes , or on any Scientific Flaws in my Theory anywho hope this article is more satiating to
Think about Than To read Chow

I believe it entirely possible to create a Organism From Scratch using Computer code although i know what ever i could write would be a
a Pretty Drafty i think its possible to Compile Known Sequences of Dna That use If or else if statements in to a functional library that can declare how many time something happens

Comming Soon [MORE WORDS YAYYY] my fingers hurt like hell Writing five articles at once a pararaph at a time XD

Even if it is possible, I do not think we should be doing it. At least not up to a sentient level organism.

I'm pretty certain that we have the ability to generate whatever sequence we want, but seriously doubt that we have the understanding to generate viable novel sequences.

 

[NaturesWhistle]

I Agree , not in our time , but maybe up to a functional Protein that can Do specific tasks maybe even build biological circuits that can transmit radio signals That would be a fascinating peace of tech

the application would be endless

This is all mathematical modeling. There are environments for a long time and they allow you to play as you like. Usually use matlab. The problem is that biology is not a mathematics, and there are no final technologies. It is enough to recall that we owe the implementation of the sequencer not to electronics or mathematics, but to chemistry. The technology is based on standardized stained amino acids. And lasers and a mathematical apparatus are auxiliary equipment. So all this is still fantasy, and games with mathematics that are not tied to reality by technology.

To be honest, we can do it even now with any compatible partner. We can just pop out a bunch of babies any day we want. I don't see this much different at all. We could even improve stuff, make people who are immune to disease or can see ultraviolet light etc.. I'd say, if we had the skill to improve us and lessen our suffering we would be morally obligated to do so, not the opposite.

I was thinking more about building an organism from scratch. Such animal would be someones property, likely would not have any rights at all and most likely would be abused by science as much as possible. This is already happening to existing species. And while something artificially built may not be the same as a naturally evolved animal, I do not think it is ok to hurt it if it can suffer.

We really should re-define our laws anyway and bring more non-human people under the protections of it.

tbh I think people have seen too many weird sci-fi movies. Who says only the worst thing would happen? It might all go really well.

 

[Bloodwolf]

The only thing I think we should be modifying to help us are viruses. There has been success developing viruses that attack bacteria and even other viruses in rather harmful conditions.

Zoos are some big brained bunch. I wonder why the stereotype still exists of being slower than everyone else.

 

[Rapscallion One]

Nature is already passing genes between species, and has always done so.
For instance, the camera eye, which is the eye type we humans and most animals have, formed some 500 million years ago. Genes from a plant's photosynthesis cells were passed on to a fish and 500 million years later, here we stand, watching, squinting and blinking.

There have been attempts to pass for instance anti-freeze genes from herrings to birches (!) in order to get breeds of birches that could survive harsh winters better, but no success yet.

There's more to this than we think. Maybe in a thousand years we'll be where you suggested?
