Greg H. Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 From: http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/09/health/artificial-dna-life/index.html?hpt=hp_c4 The paper was published in Nature just this past week. http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nature13314.html It's interesting that they were able to add completely synthetic genteic information and get that information to pass stably from one generation to the next via reproduction of the organism. I'm more excited about the posibilities this opens up for expanding our definition of what counts as life, especially in terms of space exploration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
