Biotechnology simply put is a group of technologies used to either investigate or how we use living things to do things that we want as humans.

Digital Biology is a way of thinking about living systems the same way we think of computer coding, Tiffany explains that anything you can do with a living system can be done with computer coding. DNA can be seen as an operating system, as all life on earth runs on the same open source operating system which is DNA!
