IF THE history books do come to recognise the idea of biology 2.0, then the date it began may well be recorded as May 20th 2010. That was the day when Craig Venter announced JCVI-syn1.0 ...

Called Mycoplasma mycoides JCVI-syn1.0 the synthetic cell is the proof of principle that genomes can be designed in the computer, chemically made in the laboratory and transplanted into a ...

Researchers at the J Craig Venter Institute recently unveiled their first self-replicating synthetic bacteria (M. mycoides JCVI-syn1.0) whose DNA was 'programmed' base pair by base pair. To verify ...

From the synthesis of the artificial life JCVI-syn1.0 by Craig Venter's team in 2010, to the rewriting and synthesis of the prokaryotic E. coli genome, and to the Sc2.0 project's artificial ...

Researchers at the J. Craig Venter Institute created their first self-replicating synthetic bacteria, JCVI-syn1.0 (shown here in a scanning electron micrograph) in 2010. A research group led by ...

Synthetic Mycoplasma bacteria. Colored scanning electron micrograph of M. mycoides JCVI-syn1.0 cells. This was the first self-replicating bacterium controlled by a synthetic genome. It was ...

self-replicating bacterial cell (Mycoplasma nycoides JCVI-syn1.0). While this proof-of-concept demonstration of an “artificial life form” might raise justifiable fears about the dangers of ...

(SGI) have announced the design and construction of the first minimal synthetic bacterial cell, JCVI-syn3.0. Using the first synthetic cell, Mycoplasma mycoides JCVI-syn1.0 (created by this same team ...

From the synthesis of the artificial life JCVI-syn1.0 by Craig Venter's team in 2010, to the rewriting ... Previously, researchers from Tianjin University designed and created a 254 kb digital ...
