RedNova News: Scientists are Close to Creating an Artificial Organism

RedNova News: Scientists are Close to Creating an Artificial Organism: "WASHINGTON (AP) -- Scientists announced significant progress Thursday toward creating an artificial organism that one day may have uses ranging from pollution control to clean energy production.

Scientists using commercially available DNA took only two weeks to build from scratch an artificial virus with the identical genetic code of a simple virus already known to infect and kill bacterial cells."

The big news here is that Venter's Law maybe be only a few months long, rather than Moore's Law at two years.
