It now costs less than $1,000 to sequence a human's DNA, compared to $10 million less than a decade ago. But sequencing DNA is only reading the genetic code. What if you could write it at a similar cost? Cambrian Genomics is a startup that has figured out a way to "laser print" DNA at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars per genome and dropping. As the price to print DNA comes down, what kind of genes will be designed to change the properties of plants and people? Cambrian Genomics CEO Austen Heinz will show us what's possible when DNA can be designed and manufactured cheaply.
