Carl Zimmer reports on a microorganism that needs only 381 genes for existence.
Craig Venter, the human genome scientist-entrepreneur, has patented a scheme for inserting these genes into a cell with no genetic material, and adding additional genes for the production of wanted products.
Interesting, indeed.
Thanks for reading.
Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).

The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.
