Ventner Builds First Self-Replicating Synthetic Bacteria Cell 215.0
Craig Ventner, who first mapped the human genome, achieved another first. His research team at the J. Craig Ventner Institute (JCVI) assembled the first self-replicating synthetic bacterial cell. The discovery is path-breaking as it can lead to new products like “advanced biofuels, clean water technology, and new vaccines.” Other than the products, the experimental and [...]
