They created a copy from scratch, as it were, building it up from individual base pairs, but they used a template that already existed. Then they used an existing cell, and simply inserted their copy of the DNA into the cell, from which the original DNA had been removed. It's an impressive peice of work. And it means that you can start to think about creating your own DNA, using genes that express proteins you want, and eliminating those you don't. But it's a far cry from "completely synthetic." ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] The first victim of war is truth. - Rudyard Kipling victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm blog.isc2.org/isc2_blog/slade/index.html http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/author/p1/ http://www.infosecbc.org/links http://twitter.com/rslade _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
