• Austen Heinz found dead of apparent suicide.

A method of retrieving sequence-verified deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) includes positioning a sequence-verified DNA molecule on a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) substrate. The MEMS substrate includes an electrostatic actuator and the sequence-verified DNA molecule is positioned adjacent to a moving element. The method also includes applying a voltage between the moving element and a stator to cause a motion of the moving element, thereby ejecting the sequence-verified DNA molecule from the MEMS substrate.

— Patent US9121825B2

This invention has been likened to a laser printer for DNA.

Their process was 3D printing of DNA, just as one would print any other document or object. This video also shows the sequencing of DNA. In other words, Cambrian Genomics was capable of making DNA from scratch and also reading DNA as if it was a book.
