BaalChatzaf Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Craig Venter and his team have produced a reproducing bacteria with only 473 genes. Please see https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/mar/24/landmark-lab-creates-synthetic-cell-with-minimum-genes-needed-for-life-craig-ventner He and his team did not create this replicator from scratch. They started with a natural biot and pulled genes out until they fund a minimal genome that could reproduce. Ba'al Chatzaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
