Craig Venter heads a company at the cutting edge of gene research. This is a talk he gives explaining his research, how it’s done and what the future holds. His ideas work in the simplest terms by engineering molecules by using viruses to manipulate DNA and therefore cellular function. The end result are microsynthetic organisms that can perform functions such as creating new fossil feuls and recycling energy. This bacteria is called mycoplasma laboratorium. This is the new frontier of scientific engineering. I urge everyone to watch a small piece of this, in the last half is a question and answer section that is easier to understand.
