- hyperbovine 11y agoI doubt we'll still be making calls at that point.

- SapphireSun 11y agoHaha, that's really cool. I meant something a little more literal though - being able to run several "applications" within individual cells. In bacteria you can often do that with plasmids, though if you don't modulate their promoters they'll easily exhaust the resources of the cell... kind of like setting bad ulimits on shared hosting. That said, I would like to see some remote heroku like science platform. It seems like anything that's just pure DNA is a bit easier to do that with. Dealing with proteins sounds pretty hard though, there's so much variation in what they do and their physical properties.
