85,000 new chemical registered since WWII, and only 200 tested. No wonder we are full of sickness. http://lnkd.in/AUdeiZ View in LinkedIn

FAST VACCINE. Most egg-hatched vaccines hit the market too late, but now SynBio is changing that. "We can now make a new flu vaccine in less than twelve hours using synthetic DNA. Instead of having to deal with a major pandemic where you can't travel out of your home or your city, imagine that you had a little box next to your computer, and you got an e-mail, and that gave you a chance to actually make a vaccine instantly, sort of like 3D printers." (J Craig Venter)" " http://lnkd.in/sdXQ9k View in LinkedIn

EMAIL A DISEASE? . "Obviously the downside is you could instead of giving your partner a genetic disease or an infection, you can e-mail it. So people could use this to do harm, as we see with computer viruses all the time. You would, of course, want good computer and biological virus protection on your DNA decoder." (J Craig Venter)."

WE ARE CYBER. "The idea that you're basically a DNA-driven software device is not the view that people necessarily have of themselves. But every cell on this planet works that way in a biological-to-mechanical kind of fashion. We produce life by writing new software." (J Craig Venter). " " http://lnkd.in/sdXQ9k View in LinkedIn

COLONIZING PLANETS by email? "Depending on how close moon and Mars are to each other, it takes between four minutes and twenty-one minutes for an electromagnetic wave, for light, to go from Earth to Mars. But imagine you're on a colony on Mars, and you want a new cell that produces food, or fuel, or some medicine, or a vaccine, you can just e-mail that and convert it back into biology." (J Craig Venter). " " http://lnkd.in/sdXQ9k View in LinkedIn

COPERNICAN REVOLUTION. "But DNA is not the engine of life, it's the software of life; the proteins are the engines, they're driven directly by that code in a very understandable, predictable fashion now. This has implications in many different areas." (J Craig Venter). " " http://lnkd.in/sdXQ9k. View in LinkedIn

LIFE TELEPORTER. "This Digital Biological Converter is not a myth, the United States government emails my Institute a new pandemic viral sequence, and we have 12 hours to try and make the new vaccine, get it to Novartis to get ready to scale up.. But you're going to see this developing very rapidly where, in the same way the telephone interpreted signals coming through a wire, instead of hearing sound, you're going to be able to get biology coming out of your computer or your telephone wire." (J Craig Venter)." " http://lnkd.in/sdXQ9k View in LinkedIn

J CRAIG VENTER lecture worth a careful read. " "" " 'What Is Life: A 21st Century Perspective' by J. Craig Venter on the 70th Anniversary of Schrödinger's Lecture at Trinity College [7.12.12] http://lnkd.in/i7R2dG View in LinkedIn

SYNBIO AND GOOGLE. "One of Google's chief scientists, Richard DeVaul, revealed via his Google+ page that an invite-only "Solve for X" conference over the weekend had discussed ways of "transforming education" and creating "5x improvements in agriculture through better decision support, synthetic biology, and carbon-negative biofuels.""

TRANSPOSON REVIEW (jumping genes, "junk DNA"). " ""The ability of transposons to increase genetic diversity, together with the ability of the genome to inhibit most TE activity, results in a balance that makes transposable elements an important part of evolution and gene regulation in all organisms that carry these sequences.""
