Dr. Craig Venter and Synthia’s genome
The ever-pioneering Dr. Craig Venter and his Institute have just published their latest genetic feat in Science.
The creation of a synthetic organism and related work being done by the Venter Institute has been running the press/blogs for quite some time now. The organism, also known as Synthia, is not yet a reality but the genetic structure seems well on it’s way.
Dr. Craig Venter doesn’t see himself as playing God, it’s more like using the building blocks of life to build new life forms.
“I don’t view that we’re creating life,” Venter told The Associated Press last year in describing this series of experiments. “I view that we’re modifying life to come up with new life forms by designing and synthetically constructing chromosomes.”
