Lego lifeforms – the progress of synthetic biology
Biotech is really hitting its stride as far as rapid progress – and grabbing headlines - is concerned. New Scientist takes a look at the work of Craig Venter – the tycoon who recently attempted to patent a ‘minimal genome’ – who claims his team have passed an important milestone in the journey towards creating entirely synthetic bacteria … and at his competitors, who believe that Venter’s
project isn’t creating genuine synthetic life at all.

Craig Venter, not Charles. And, his competitors are probably right.
