Re: DNA-Printing and DNA-as-programming (Was Re: Cheaper Whole Human Genome Sequencing)

Actually I was thinking custom SOI. Doing a few hundred thousand
parallel circuits for this would be most cost-prohibitive if it were
in components rather than printed form, and virtually worthless from a
resale standpoint due either to the very low count of base pairs it
would be able to synthesize or incredible costs per chip.
