Quote: A slightly misleading title by the BBC, but an interesting article non the less...\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4056559.stm
Response: Thanks for the link it was an interesting read.\nI found the comment in the second to last paragraph most intriguing:\n\'Scientists have also identified the smallest number of genes required to sustain life in a bacterial cell (about 350). If they can overcome the many technical hurdles of building a wholly artificial cell in the lab, it is conceivable they could "create" - albeit simple - "life". \'\nWho knows what that line of research might lead us to?
