The Man Who Re-Invented DNA: Steve Benner on Hachimoji DNA

In This Episode of the Evolution 2.0 Podcast…

Iconoclast, polymath, renegade and world-class chemist, Steve Benner has engineered a new breed of DNA with 8 nucleotide options instead of four. This exponentially increases its data capacity and it’s called Hachimoji DNA.

What are the implications of this?

In this podcast, Steve sounds off about the conflict between research and advocacy, and the great power of shattering paradigms and admitting what we don’t know.
