Scientists have reconstructed the genome of an ancient human who lived nearly 5,700 years ago in Southern Denmark from the birch pitch- an ancient tar-like substance.
When you're just starting out with biological programming, it's easy to run into complex problems that make you wonder how anyone has ever managed to write a program.
