Light-Controlled DNA Synthesis - A Feasibility Study

A method capable of generating long, fully experimenter-specified DNA molecules directly in the cell nucleus (or cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells), immediately ready to be incorporated into the genome and transcribed into RNA, would greatly expand the options for the genetic engineer, and accelerate progress in medicine. The linked article gives an outline of a possible protein-engineering solution to this challenge.
