  • Darpa, Venter Launch Assembly Line For Genetic Engineering

    wired.com 1 week ago

    The military-industrial complex just got a little bit livelier. Quite literally. That's because Darpa, the Pentagon's far-out research arm, has kicked off a program designed to take the conventions of manufacturing and apply them to living cells. Think of it like an assembly line, but one that would churn out modified biological matter -- man-made organisms -- instead of cars or computer parts.

Additional Info

via Wikipedia
Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the direct human manipulation of an organism's genome using modern DNA technology. It involves the introduction of foreign DNA or synthetic genes into the organism of interest. The introduction of new DNA does not require the use of classical genetic methods, however traditional breeding methods are typically used for the propagation of recombinant organisms.
