Artificial Intelligence Made
From DNA


Eat your heart out Steven Spielberg (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000229/) -- turns out artificial intelligence is not
just a figment of your imagination.

A team of researchers lead by Lulu Qian (http://media.caltech.edu/press_releases/13434) from the California Institute of (http://www.caltech.edu/)
Technology (http://www.caltech.edu/) (Caltech) have for the first developed an artificial neural (http://media.caltech.edu/press_releases/13434)
network (http://media.caltech.edu/press_releases/13434) -- that is, the beginnings of a brain -- out of DNA molecules.

These microorganisms did not have brains, but instead had molecules that
interacted with each other and spurred the creatures to search for food
processing and transmitting information and computing data.

The Caltech used DNA molecules specifically for the experiment, because
these molecules interact in specific ways determined by the sequence of
thymine (T). And what's more, scientists can encode the sequence into
strands of DNA molecules, essentially programming them to function in a
predetermined way.

Without getting too complicated, Qian and her team created four highly
each strand programmed with a specific sequence of bases to interact with
firing, the scientists attached a fluorescent molecular marker that lit up
when activated.
