Cell programming

Recently, some scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in America have created a programming language that enables us to design and build complex DNA circuits in a rapid and simplified manner similar to those in electronic circuits, where you can use them to give orders with different -function-s for the living cells in our bodies, and by using that language anyone can write A software has some -function-s that the cells want to perform, such as detection and response to different environmental conditions, and then DNA strings can be generated and created to achieve the desired purpose of writing the software.

  Professor Christopher Voight, Professor of Biological Engineering, stated that it is literally a programming language for bacteria, whereby the user will write a text language such as that used in computer programming, and then the text will go through a process of structuring and compiling it to be -convert-ed into DNA chains that are placed inside the cells and then the created circles will move By code, along with genetic circuits. Professor Voigt, with the help of a team of researchers from Boston University, used the new programming language to create complex genetic circuits, demonstrating that future applications of this technology will be able to produce bacteria that are able to treat cancers once a tumor is discovered. And given that this technique does not require any prior experience, it also does not require knowledge of genetic engineering, as all the user has to do is write the first code for the genetic code, after which the required DNA chains are formed. The research team also decided to put an online technology user interface available to all. The programming language is based on a pre-existing computer language called Verilog and it is used in computer chips and to create a similar language that can work with living cells. The researchers created what is called Logic Gates as well as sensors written on the DNA of the bacterial cell, where these sensors can detect compounds Various such as oxygen and glucose in addition to light, heat, acidity and other environmental conditions. It seems that the language is still in its infancy and we still have a lot to ask about whether it will refer our lives to one of those science fiction novels where diseases will be a thing from the past´-or-what, in all cases it seems that we have to wait, so let us wait.
