克雷格·文特尔,这位饱受争议的DNA研究者一直致力于破译人类基因组密码,已利用实验室里的化学物质制造出一种合成染色体,并准备宣布地球上首例新的人造生命体的诞生。这组DNA序列基于生殖支原体的细菌的序列,简化了1/5的基因构成,只保留了维持生命所需的最基本物质。科研小组将这一完全经合成重构的染色体命名为“实验室合成支原体”。接着,该染色体被植入活菌细胞中, Craig Venter, the controversial DNA researcher who has been working on deciphering the human genome code, has used laboratory chemicals to make a synthetic chromosome and is preparing to announce the first new human on the planet. The birth of life. This set of DNA sequences is based on the sequence of the bacteria of M. genitalium, which simplifies one-fifth of the gene composition and only retains the most basic substances needed to maintain life. The research team named this completely synthetically reconstructed chromosome as “Laboratory Mycoplasma.” Then, the chromosome is implanted in living cells.
