[Blog@gracejunction] Creating Artificial Life ?: “On Saturday, American biologist-Craig Venter told the media that he has built a synthetic chromosome out of laboratory chemicals. A few days from now he is expected to announce the creation of the first new artificial life form on earth”.
[Irizalianrocks's Weblog] I am creating artificial life, declares US gene pioneer: The Guardian can reveal that a team of 20 top scientists assembled by Mr Venter, led by the Nobel laureate Hamilton Smith, has already constructed a synthetic chromosome, a feat of virtuoso bio-engineering never previously achieved. Using lab-made chemicals, they have painstakingly stitched together a chromosome that is 381 genes long and contains 580,000 base pairs of genetic code.
[Keegy United States] Artificial life close to being created by J Craig Venter: Micrograph images of synthetic Mycoplasma genitalium J Craig Venter and his team at the J Craig Venter Institute Rockville, Md. Venter continue to expand our horizons of what constitutes life.
[Genetics and Health] Artificial life close to being created by J Craig Venter: Once the laboratory produces living, replicating bacteria using this artificial chromosome, Venter scientists plan to strip away genes systematically, to find how few are truly necessary to sustain life. It is largely an academic exercise, but in the process the scientists hope to refine the tools for building living organisms from this fundamental base, and custom-design them to perform certain tasks - such as manufacturing fuel.
[TREND HUNTER Magazine] Innovations in Artificial Life - Craig Venter's "Designer" Cells: Craig Venter and his team aim to transplant the new strand of DNA into a living cell. They have already achieved a similar concept that has proven they can transplant a strand into a cell in order to change its species.
[Consider Bookhling] Interesting resource: I’ve been binge watching/listening Craig Venter these days. He is currently attempting to build a minimal genome network for construction of a base life-like system, so it has a lot to do with my obsessive interest in artificial life.
[American Buddhist Net - Buddhist News & Forum] US scientists close to creating artificial life: study: Craig Venter is seen in this undated handout photo. US scientists have taken a major step toward creating the first ever artificial life form by synthetically reproducing the DNA of a bacteria, according to a study published Thursday.
[Chronicles of Vox<br> Mistress Xia's Blog] 2012, Singularity, Apocalypse, Oh My!: One of my friends, when he heard this, said half-jokingly, “The end of the world must be near.” Despite being a sexual freak, he has a conservative streak as well. He had a similar reaction when Oprah was talking about teenagers holding “rainbow” parties (the girls all wear different colored lipstick, then turn off the lights and give the boys fellatio.
[Transcurve -] Dr. J. Craig Venter: A DNA-Driven World: Craig Venter gives the 32nd Richard Dimbleby Lecture. One of the principal scientists who decoded the human genome is about to create the first artificial life form on Earth.
[Time to Write] More Amazing Talks Online: Finally, when they come online watch out for Chris Abani, Nassim Nicholas Taleb (some didn’t like him - I did), Paul Stamets, and most especially Richard Preston when they come on line. I remarked to another delegate that if Richard Preston’s talk about the forest canopy above the redwood trees in Northern California had been on at my local town hall I probably would not have gone, yet in the TED environment I sat transfixed by his description of a climb with his children over three days;
[Anisotropic Perspectives] Synthetic Life: Here’s Craig Venter’s basic idea: use digital information to chemically synthesize an artificial chromosome that replaces a cell’s native genetic information. Why?
[Louis J. Sheehan] meet: Although no one agrees just how to deal with the knowledge that one is likely to get Alzheimer’s, millions of dollars is spent on research into the disease each year. With personal genetic testing ready to take off, that’s good news for the many people who will be learning their genetic predispositions.
