Hello

Craig Venter ,the scientist who mapped the cromoson, has created the first artificial cromoson
Its name is Mycoplasma and it is made of 381 genes
If injected in a cell, which has been previously emptied of its original genome, the artificial genome can drive the evolution and the reproduction of the cell
In practice : artificial life

The cell was there before and hadn't been created by him, wasn't it? So it isn't artificial life, it's just manipulatd life

A dog is so to say also artificial life.

Humans manipulated the wulf-genome by selectivly breeding wulfs, to
create the dog-races.

Direct genetic manipulation is just a variation this old technique
to alter genes.

If you can create a living cell, purely by manipulating
non-organic molucules (no parts that are taken from cells)
then you created artificial life.

No because the cell and the cromosone themselves are not alive, while the combination is
Not to mention that if you can create a cromoson in lab than you could create also a cell, if not now, for sure in a next future

Moreover it is not a simple genetic modifications
The cromosons of dogs and wolf are 99% similar but this one is completely new.

cromoson = chromosome?

If this story is true then this is pretty cool. Now I expect giant mutant dinosaurs any day...

They're not gonna stop until it messes around and comes to that, Matt.

I thought most Dinosaurs were already giant though.. I shudder to imagine a further gigantic rendition of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.. although it would probably run like a diabetic fat man .. even slow than the normal sized one .

The next step could be that they inject these genomes of a serial killer
into a gun...and the resulting "gun specie" will hop on it's butt and do what it likes best


I like good 'views' because they have no 'strings' attached..

sounds cool. Clone wars are not far away anymore (feel the force, Luuuuke...)

Can the author of this thread keep us posted about any changes of the situation of teh chromosome?
