Overview
Once a strand of DNA is made, we will need to check to make sure that it is the correct desired sequence.
Effects of limits of Space on Synthesizer
Payload Size and Power constraints
What kind of shielding do we need?
Communication from Device
Depending on our ultimate choice of payload, communication from our device involves a number of interesting questions. How do we return the message that synthesis has been carried out successfully? Will the message describe the sequence of the product created, or a simple boolean yes or no?
History of DNA synthesizer idea in SSI
The idea of a DNA synthesizer for space has been floating around SSI for some time. One of the earliest recordings stretches back to 2013, in a talk given John Cumbers. John Cumbers was also consulted during the initial conception and planning of the project in the summer of 2015.
