Scientists Build First Man-Made Genome

 

Craig Ventner has created the first Genome from scratch – essentially accomplishing the inverse of the human genome project – by taking an almost 600,000 long base pair sequence from a computer and turning it into a DNA strand. This allows scientists to create living “robots” from scratch, and could lead to man-made biofuel producing cells.
