- prepass rated 2 months ago
- premier pas vers une "vie artificiellement créée par l'Homme" ... peut-on breveter une nouvelle forme de vie ? !!! problème éthique, philosophique, ... diplomatique ?

- If this is real then this is damn awesome. I hope I'll see some multi cell artificial life in my time, something I could keep as a pet. And disgustingly mutated looking.

- Will be interesting to see where this field goes from here. I wonder, will artificial house pets or genocidal bio-weapons come first?

- World's first artificial lifeform created (Yay! Finally.)
Then again...
"The chromosome is transplanted into a living host cell where it then takes control of the cell, effectively changing it into a different species. So the life form itself isn't completely 100% artificial, per se, but since its genetic makeup is based on an artificially created DNA structure that controls the cell, it can be categorized as man-made since DNA is the building block from which all life is created and maintained."
... You mean... Like a little zombie cell? :o - World's first artificial lifeform created (Yay! Finally.)

- "DNA researcher Craig Venter (pictured right) "has built a synthetic chromosome out of laboratory chemicals and is poised to announce the creation of the first new artificial life form on Earth." The new species is made from an artificial chromosome constructed by a team of 20 leading scientists led by Nobel laureate Hamilton Smith. The chromosome is "381 genes long and contains 580,000 base pairs of genetic code." It's based on the DNA sequence for a bacterium known as "Mycoplasma genitalium" that's been whittled down to its most basic form to include only what it needs to support life. The synthetic chromosome has been named "Mycoplasma laboratorium" and has been, get this, watermarked with ink so that it can be easily identified out in the real world."
