Heuristic DNA editing

Heuristic DNA editing is a technology in the field of biology that allows for rapid development and effective control of the properties of biological systems by using machine learning to convert near-incomprehensible DNA code designed by evolution into a clean, logical representation. It was developed by researchers at Harvard University in the mid 22nd century, as a joint project with Clare Biomedical.

The technology uses a powerful non-sapient algorithm, usually running on a NPU or TPU cluster, to transform cell coding information into a representation known as Coding Descriptor Language (CDL), which is akin to a programming language. CDL is modular, and can then be arbitrarily transformed back into DNA coding information via a heuristic compiler. Its original structure is retained, which ensures new code can be spliced into live organisms.
