[CARM.ORG - Christian Discussion Forums] \n Dr Endy added: "Given the work already done in Japan, building genomes almost 10 million base-pairs long - I would be surprised if by 2012 it were not technically possible to routinely design and construct the genomes of any bacteria or single celled eukaryote, which also means that it will be possible to construct some mammalian chromosomes."

[Wired Science] Synthetic Biology: It's Not What You Learned, But What You Made: The technologiespioneered in Japan and at the Venter Institute for genome constructionare relatively slow and expensive. We still need to develop "one step"genome construction methods in order to reduce the costs and turn timeof genome construction.

[medicineroom blog - your wellness zone] Synthetic Biology: It’s Not What You Learned, But What You Made: Synthetic biology is to biology what electrical engineering is to physics. In the latter case, both fields involve electrons, but they don’t necessarily have the same goals and can’t be measured with the same yardsticks.
