When humans hijack evolution.

The article looks at synthetic biology, as of 2014. The author describes advances in genetic engineering and says it is enabling humans to carry on the changes that have previously been brought about by evolution. Topics include the creation of an artificial organism based on the Mycoplasma mycoides...

      ab: The article looks at synthetic biology, as of 2014. The author describes advances in genetic engineering and says it is enabling humans to carry on the changes that have previously been brought about by evolution. Topics include the creation of an artificial organism based on the Mycoplasma mycoides bacterium by biologist Craig Venter and his colleagues and the work of biologist Jef Boeke on yeast genetics.
