Like the viral RNA in the CRISPR immune system, the guide RNA directs Cas9 to the target gene, and the protein’s molecular scissors snip the DNA.

And what I want to do is write molecular programs, potentially to build technology.

So my friends, molecular programmers, and I have a sort of biomolecule-centric approach.

My little group of molecular programmers are trying to refashion all of these parts from DNA.

If we succeed, what will molecular programming look like?

And what happens if you water and feed that seed appropriately, is it will do a developmental computation, a molecular computation, and it'll build an electronic computer.

And if I haven't revealed my prejudices already, I think that life has been about molecular computers building electrochemical computers, building electronic computers, which together with electrochemical computers will build new molecular computers, which will build new electronic computers, and so forth.

And for molecular programming, the question is how does your cell phone know when to stop growing?

But for molecular programming, our question is, how many molecules do we need to put in that seed to get a cell phone?

You have your molecular compiler, you can do whatever you want.

And the point of this, if you didn't catch that, is that tiles are a kind of molecular program and they can output patterns.

So, what we've done is we've figured out a way to have a molecular program know when to stop going.

It's a molecular computer building an electronic computer.

And the computations that it uses, they're molecular computations, and in order to understand this and get a better handle on it, as Feynman said, you know, we need to build something to understand it.

You know, so this is all very cool, but what I'd like you to take from the talk, hopefully from some of those big questions, is that this molecular programming isn't just about making gadgets.

I mean, big piece at the molecular level.

After all, that's certainly what modern molecular biology says about us.

We will go into the third dimension and there's been tremendous progress, just in the last few years, of getting three-dimensional, self-organizing molecular circuits to work.

And the other theory is that we smell molecular vibrations.

It’s very hard to explain this by molecular recognition.

Now, the slight fly in the ointment is this: that if we smell molecular vibrations, we must have a spectroscope in our nose.

And the warhead in CRISPR is this purple protein that acts like molecular scissors to cut DNA, breaking the double helix into two pieces.

The results of our efforts are molecular machines called "base editors."

So if you think of naturally occurring CRISPR proteins as molecular scissors, you can think of base editors as pencils, capable of directly rewriting one DNA letter into another by actually rearranging the atoms of one DNA base to instead become a different base.

While many of these diseases are thought to be treatable by correcting the underlying mutation in even a modest fraction of cells in an organ, delivering molecular machines like base editors into cells in a human being can be challenging.

Continuing to develop new molecular machines that can make all of the remaining ways to convert one base pair to another base pair and that minimize unwanted editing at off-target locations in cells is very important.

So one approach we’re taking is to try to design drugs that function like molecular Scotch tape, to hold the protein into its proper shape.

Because the results of it were so spectacular that if it worked it was going to change everybody's goddamn way of doing molecular biology.

The clock is a molecular oscillator, the details here are not important at all, I don't want you to look at the names of these things on the board, but I want to point out that the clock is essentially the same in animals such as fruit flies, which my lab uses in our studies, and in mammals like mice or humans.

On a molecular level, I believe that that insight is the unifying theme for every talk you have seen so far at TED and will continue as we of course embark on this journey here on this tiny planet, on the ledge, on the precipice, as we are seeing, yes, death is inevitable.
