@Phoenixyin13: Breaking! This is the latest major breakthrough in synthetic biology, confirmed by The New York Times in a front-page story. A team led by University of Minnesota scientist Kate Adamala has used non-living chemical components to assemble, from scratch, a brand-new cell—SpudCell. In the past, gene editing was like buying a ready-made car and swapping a tire or upgrading the engine. Now, scientists have essentially gone to the parts factory, bought iron, rubber, circuits, and assembled from the ground up a prototype of artificial life that can refuel itself, run, and self-replicate.
