Upon opening, it was revealed the cabinet contained a camera and umts equipment. Later that day, the cabinet disappeared. 1984 much?

Submission + - Bioengineers Build Open Source Language for Programming Cells (wired.com) 2

hessian writes: The BIOFAB project is still in the early stages. Endy and the team are creating the most basic of building blocks — the “grammar” for the language. Their latest achievement, recently reported in the journal Science, has been to create a way of controlling and amplifying the signals sent from the genome to the cell. Endy compares this process to an old fashioned telegraph.

“If you want to send a telegraph from San Francisco to Los Angeles, the signals would get degraded along the wire,” he says. “At some point, you have to have a relay system that would detect the signals before they completely went to noise and then amplify them back up to keep sending them along their way.”
