Biologists on the Verge of Creating New Form of Life
Posted 09-11-2008 at 05:51 PM by Bullet Magnet
False alarm, my doctor said that the state of my gums was merely the result of severe dehydration, so regardless, the orange juice did help. He let me go home after I convinced him that I really did not require supervision just to survive. I find the order at which the symptoms emerged to be perplexing at best.
Anyway, I have interesting news. Good news, everyone! Truly artificial life, ie, complex organisation allowing for the processes that make up living organisms, is soon going to be produced from scratch! [linky] Jack Szostack has produced fatty vesicles that trap nucleic acids, and has stimulated their replication. When combined with a process that can harness energy from external sources and the replication is made autonomous, a truly living protocell will be born, unlike any other being on Earth as we'd share no common ancestor. Previously synthetic lifeforms have been created, but always using already living cells as a template or starting point. This work creates cells from common organic molecules and could be able to produce genuinely novel life. For all intents and purposes, alien life. |
