The Jenes Pod
I'm Damien Hsieh, a Year 10 student from Hong Kong who loves genetics and molecular biology. These molecules and proteins are practically invisible to the naked eye, but when closely examined, can reveal the inner complexities of thousands of millions of processes that make you. With this science now being harnessed for good, this genetic technology of the future (and practically now!) is what I will be discussing in Jenes, and I hope you will enjoy the breakdowns and explanations of the complex human genome.

Episode 5 - My Recent Obsession: DNA Nanotechnology
Today, we divert a bit away from genes to focus on the DNA itself, and namely, DNA nanotechnology and its various uses. From 2D crystals, 3D crystals, dynamical systems, integration with transition metals, organic molecules, and other nanomaterials, this paper I've stumbled upon ("DNA Nanotechnology" by Nadrian C. Seaman and Hanadi F. Sleiman) was just too cool not to share. So today, I'll be breaking down this review paper for everyone to enjoy!
