UW engineers invent programming language to build synthetic DNA

This article was about the creation of a programming language for chemistry that will help to control reactions. The goal was to create systems for creating new molecules that are more adaptable. Currently, once a system has been designed to create a certain molecule, it doesn't repurpose easily. This is the starting block to create a system with much more flexibility and one day, creating a new system to make specific molecules could be as easy as reprogramming the machine that makes it. 

I think that this is pretty cool because of all its possible applications. Maybe one day, with the help of machines and systems like these, it will be possible to create drugs specifically tailored for each individual person.
