Credit: NIH The DNA of human cells consists of a sequence of about 3.1 billion building blocks. Cells go to great lengths to maintain the integrity of this vast store of information.

As a graduate student in 2000, he spent six months trying to build a cell that could periodically alter a tiny bit of its own DNA. After six months of failure, he abandoned the project.
