Molecular geneticist George Church shares his book, “Regenesis: How Synthetic Biology Will Reinvent Nature and Ourselves,” on the Colbert Report. Significant achievements George discussed with Stephen Colbert include making petroleum using scientifically-engineered bacteria and the invention of a mega data storage method using DNA-based coding.
