In 2001, a scientist named Professor. Ehud Saphiro, biophysics from weizmann Research Institute of science, create a successful computer organick blood setetes form of genetic code.
With the business, he successfully adjust and change the DNA molecule (Deoxyribonu Kleic Acid) a giant molecule that is hidden in the nucleus of living cells into four-letter code, namely A (adenine), T (timin), G (guanine), S (sitosin) . They were a pair, A with T and G with S This genetic code holds information about the body, hair color, nose shape, high body, to organs, including the form of internal body functions and tissues. Human genetic code has a weight of 1 / 200 (one per two hundred) billion grams width 1/500.000 (one per five hundred thousand) millimeter. Although very small, but if in the dust, the length can reach three meters.
Kazuo Murakami, a specialist genetic origin of Japan revealed an interesting illustration of the size of this DNA. "If you can cut up a wire with a diameter of one millimeter in lengthwise into 1 / 100 (one hundred) parts, will be produced and each leaf blade is still 5000 (five thousand) times thicker sehelai of DNA." To help visualize how the small size of DNA, Think if we can collect all the DNA of the entire population of the world's six billion people. So the collection of DNA is all the weight will only be like a grain of rice
