Synthetic biology promised to rewrite life—with the death of its pioneer, J. Craig Venter, how close are scientists? – Biotech Insider

When scientist J. Craig Venter and his team announced in 2010 that they had created the first cell controlled by a fully synthetic genome, it marked a turning point in how scientists think about life. For the first time, DNA—the molecule that carries the instructions for life—had been written on a computer, assembled in a laboratory and used to control a living cell.

No one’s sure if synthetic mirror life will kill us all

For four days in February 2019, some 30 synthetic biologists and ethicists hunkered down at a conference center in Northern Virginia to brainstorm high-risk, cutting-edge, irresistibly exciting ideas that the National Science Foundation should fund. By the end of the meeting, they’d landed on a compelling contender: making “mirror” bacteria.

Scientists Develop “Digital Cell” to Simulate Whole Cell Cycle in 4D, Signaling Era of Genomic Digital Twins

13 The Dawn of Digital Life: How 4D Cell Simulations Are Rewriting Biology For decades, biologists have sought a comprehensive understanding of the cell – the fundamental unit of life. Now, a groundbreaking achievement is bringing that goal closer to reality: the creation of a validated 4D whole-cell simulation of the bacterium JCVI-syn3A.

A validated 4D whole-cell simulation of the minimal bacterium JCVI-syn3A now reproduces a complete cell cycle in space and time. The result behaves like a working digital twin of a cell, one researchers can interrogate across metabolism, DNA replication, gene expression, and division.

‘Zombie Cells’ Bring Bacteria Back to Life

Researchers have stunned the synthetic biology community by resurrecting “dead” bacterial cells through the transplantation of complete genomes from other species. Reported this month on the preprint server bioRxiv, the technique could revolutionise the engineering of microbes, offering a way to endow cells with useful traits such as drug production or biofuel synthesis.
