Channel 4 News News.bbc.co.uk 20 May 2010, American scientists have succeeded in developing the first synthetic living cell. The researchers built a bacterium of the "genetic program" and transplanted into a host cell. The resulting microbe then looked and behaved like the species "dictated" by the synthetic DNA. The progress of science has been published, hailed as scientific milestone, but critics say there are dangers posed by synthetic organisms. The researchers hope to finallyPlanning for the production of bacterial cells, medicines and fuel, and also absorb greenhouse gases. The team was led by Dr. Craig Venter of the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) conducted in Maryland and California. He and his colleagues had already produced a synthetic bacterial genome and transplanted the genome of a bacterium to another. Now scientists have put together two methods to create what they call a "synthetic cell," even though its genome is really just synthetic. Dr. Venter has compared theAdvance to make a new software for the cell. Researchers have copied an existing bacterial genome. They sequenced the genetic code and then its "synthesis engines" to build a chemical copy. Dr. Venter has told the BBC News "Now we can take our synthetic chromosome and transplantation into a recipient cell - another body." Once this new software enters the cell reads the cell [it] set and converts the respective species in the genetic code. "The new bacteriareplicated over a ...
