Being able to sequence DNA and RNA is like taking a look at nature’s instruction manual. These molecules are the blueprint of life, dictating everything from the color of your eyes to how your body fights off illness. Florence Chardon from the Seattle Hub for Synthetic Biology is showing off a hand-held DNA sequencer, which is a portable device to read the genetic code of an organism. #SeaSynBio #DNA #RNA #science #biology #CellBiology
