The Man Who Re-Invented DNA: Steve Benner on Hachimoji DNA

Iconoclast, polymath, renegade and world-class chemist, Steve Benner engineered a new breed of DNA with 8 nucleotide options instead of four. This exponentially increases its data capacity and it’s called Hachimoji DNA. What are the implications of this? Steve sounds off about the conflict between research and advocacy, and the great power of shattering paradigms and admitting what we don’t know. Hosted on Acast.
