From Typewriters to Code Editors: The History and Future of DNA Writing Tools - Sasha Levy, PhD

Sasha Levy, PhD, co-founder of BacStitch DNA, Inc., explores the evolution and future of the technologies behind DNA synthesis and assembly. Dr. Levy compares DNA to other human information systems, such as language and software, and explores how our tools for manipulating DNA have evolved from basic cut-and-paste methods to sophisticated, programmable systems. He walks us through four distinct eras of DNA engineering, each defined by breakthrough technologies that expanded what was possible in molecular biology. This perspective helps illuminate how advances in DNA construction tools have driven biological discovery and points toward a future of more scalable and programmable approaches. 00:00 Introduction to Eras of DNA Engineering 02:16 Collage Era - Copy/Paste 03:28 Printing Press Era - Write/Copy 07:00 Punch Card Computer Era - Write/Program 14:01 Modern Computer Era - Write/Program at Scale 18:40 Questions/Answers Don't forget to like and subscribe!
