Scientists create artificial genes if successful will produce new bio

As far as the Straits Times, Singapore recently reported that have helped unravel the mysteries of the human genome United States scientists are now considering manufacturing artificial genes, including Craig · Venter, Ph.d., a research group hope to be able to produce artificial chromosomes.

If ultimately successful, scientists will be able to design a kind of living organisms, such as completely harmless bacteria or viruses, and use of such organisms to produce pharmaceuticals, bio-fuels or to be able to eat the insects of pollutants.

Some people might criticize the practice is on God's disrespect, but Dr. Venter, towards a better understanding of gene represents a positive step.

Nevertheless, artificial bacterial genome manufacturing is a formidable task, some opposition of people even think that this is not possible.

Dr. Venter is pioneering the "human genome project," one of the important experts. He had a human genome studies, has been actively involved in to microbial genome sequencing. These microbes are collected from the ocean. Xinhua Beijing dispatches on 6 December
