Abstract
The paper shows the outcomes and results of an ethnographic study I conducted in a biochemical laboratory during 2017 and 2019. Recombinant DNA technologies are understood here as the induced mutation, reconfiguration, and exchange of DNA strands to produce and design new nucleotide sequence arrangements. Using examples from the ethnographic research, the paper analyzes the context of these technologies, specifically relations among scientists, their emotions and their utopian visions in connection with living “techno-others,” edited proteins and their simulations, models and predictions.
