One of the important figures behind deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis technology is biochemist and Nobel Laureate Kary Mullis. Allegedly, he discovered a way to synthetically replicate DNA through what is now known as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) while dropping massive hits of acid on his way home from work. And despite the massive potential behind PCR, he instead went on to start a company that sells jewelry containing the amplified DNA of dead famous celebrities like Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley.

Fortunately, other more business-savvy folks have realized DNA and ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis can be used for more important applications. Since Mullis’ discovery, replicating DNA and RNA from a template, like from the nucleus of an organism, has been...
