Article here


A controversial scientist claims to have created a new form of artificial life by building a synthetic chromosome out of laboratory chemicals.

In a move certain to provoke fierce ethical debate, DNA researcher Craig Venter is expected to announce that his team of scientists has successfully implanted the artificial chromosome into a bacterial cell, The Guardian reported.



Cool, designer lifeforms. :thumbup:

Nnnnaw, he/they didn't create a new lifeform, he/they modified an existing lifeform....

The implications seem profound, either way....

it's just molecular surgery,

They have based this AL on a parasitic organism that can cause urinary tract infections, (reading from the article). Can they make the parasite benign, so as not to cause recurrent UTIs?

"...talked up possible designer genome advances, including carbon-dioxide eating bacteria to combat global warming."

That sounds like a very very bad idea to me :eek:
I wonder how long it will take humans to design this :penguinmonkey:

Yeah that article's title is waaaay misleading. Still impressive though. Craig Venter is the man.
