HARD SciFi Futurism: Do you know of any sources speculating about advanced bio-technology as a replacement for silicon compute? (lemmy.world)

I know about the recent stuff using DNA as a storage medium. I am interested in writing a story where humans have mastered everything Evolution has to offer; a time when technology is completely integrated into a vivarium/Bioregenerative Life Support System like ecosystem on multiple levels.

I'm looking for references to better speculate about organic compute as a complete replacement for silicon in a very distant future.
