Artificial life will be created within months quotes genome experts - is this good?

Artificial life will be created 'within months' as genome experts claim vital breakthrough.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1208047/Life-order-M...Scientists are only months away from creating artificial life, it was claimed yesterday.Dr Craig Venter – one of the world’s most famous and controversial biologists – said his U.S. researchers have overcome one of the last big hurdles to making a synthetic organism.The first artificial lifeform is likely to be a simple man-made bacterium that proves that the technology can work.But it will be followed by more complex bacteria that turn coal into cleaner natural gas, or algae that can soak up carbon dioxide and convert it into fuels.They could also be used to create new vaccines and antibiotics.The prediction came after a breakthrough by the J Craig Venter Institute in Maryland.Researchers successfully transferredthe DNA of one type of bacteria into a yeast cell, modified it and then transferred it into another bacterial cell.The pioneering 'gene swap' was performed on a simple species of bacteria called Mycoplasma mycoides.Carole Lartigue and colleagues removed the bacteria's entire genome and inserted it into the yeast - an organism that is distant from bacteria on the tree of life.Yeast is easier to manipulate in the lab and this process allowed the team to alter the genes - in this case, deleting one gene not necessary for bacteria to live.High hopes: Synthetic microbes could clean up toxic wasteThe cell went on to divide normally, producing a new healthy strain of the modified bacteria.In January, the team created the entire genetic code of a new bacterium. They now hope to transfer such artificial DNA into a host cell to create a new species, the journal Science reported.Yesterday Dr Venter said: ‘Assuming we don’t make any errors, I think it should work and we should have the first synthetic species by the end of the year.’The team successfully transplanted the genome of one bacteria into another for the first time in 2007.They then created the first entirely man-made genome. But previous attempts to introduce the synthetic genome into another organism and take control of the new bacteria all failed.Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1208047/Life-order-M...
