By expanding DNA to eight letters, it can build cells immune to every virus on Earth and program living factories to make materials that never existed before. this is not just. a tweaking biology.we are creating orthogonal life.This will pack petabytes into microscopic droplets, archiving data and programming living cells to compute without electricity.For decades, we only searched the stars for Earth's four genetic letters. By proving an eight letter alphabet supports life, this showed biology is not locked to our chemistry. Now, we can calibrate our space probes to detect alien genetic codes across the universe that we would have otherwise completely overlooked.</blockquote>
