"Podemos criar vida a partir do nosso universo digital?" pergunta Craig Venter. A resposta é "sim" -- e logo. Ele apresenta sua mais recente pesquisa e promete que em breve seremos capazes de construir  um cromossomo sintético funcional.

Craig Venter está prestes a criar vida sintética

Scientists have succeeded in moving biology from reading genomes to writing them, creating synthetic chromosomes from digital information. In one case, a lab-built DNA molecule of over 580,000 letters was assembled and transplanted to transform one bacterial species into another. This leap in synthetic biology opens the door to designing organisms that could create fuels, medicines, or even reshape how we answer 'What is life?' As global populations and resource needs soar, these novel tools could help meet the challenges ahead.
