The Origin Project

Have you ever wondered how life came to be? Can a Github repo help answer the origins of life?Basic Building Blocks of LifeIn physics we have atoms, in computer science we have bits, and in biology we have deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA for short)

Software as an organism

From an information flow perspective of Central Dogma and Data EngineeringWe "write" DNA through code, The manifestation of what you see in a product as the sum of the information inside the DNA and environment.Need to read genetics for computer scientists

Genetic circuits as oracles for trustless biological verification

Give an overview of the history of synthetic biologyExplain Voigt’s team’s innovation using Cello, which uses Verilog for computation.Explanation of the blockchainOracles in Ethereum(should be combined with your other article)Uses in agriculture, food supply chain, anything biological/chemical/life-related.

Questioning the Minimal Requirements for Life, Imbuing Economic Complexity to Non-Human Agents

Want to answer questions of:how to categorize life and non-life difference between humans, machines, biological entities, hybrid systems, etcIf it’s possible for non human entities to create their own economic systems that are so similar to that of humansValue of this in
