SEQAD is a computer programme which automatically assembles from nucleotides the building blocks of DNA and RNA. Gene sequences could in theory, in a petri dish, build their own outer biological skins to form a cell, given the right conditions. These artificial cells could be given specific and intricate functions within the human body.

Can ‘mutations’ be engineered along natural gene fault lines for human evolutionary advantage?
Are there specific sites in the gene sequence which are natural fault lines which allow mutations to occur?
Is not ‘mutation’ an important mechanism to ensure the survival of each species in terms of a changing environment?
Can a pathway sequence of potential mutations be determined from a ‘first’ gene sequence?
Converting a biological compound into an electrical signal… would the body recognise an electrical signal of a medication? i.e., signal algorithms to manufacture chemical profiles. In Absorption Spectroscopy when radiation hits a sample, the electric field of the electromagnetic radiation interacts with atoms in the sample. There is therefore a direct correlation as to how a radiation signal intersects with the sample. In Pharmacokinetics, it is possible to analyse how biological cells metabolise medication using a Spectrometer (which analyses wavelengths and frequencies) on a sample taken at different time points in the delivery of the medication. Chemical medication therefore has a specific wavelength/frequency profile.

The property of an element to exist in more than one form. To confer new properties onto a known chemical structure by virtue of its’ new form. Could this be used to construct new binding sites to side-step bacterial resistance to antibiotics? i.e., to create structural polymorphisms… as in ‘Topology’.
