Synthetic life created aka . It's alive!!! ALIVE!!!

*Drools* That was cool as hell!

We are here to learn,to explore life yet the government think we cant do anything without money


Tell me do you need money to think?


End of the day its all about greed and im not being wrong here but charities no matter if you give them 100trillion pounds to help them out i bet they will still come back for more money ie cancer research.

Thats what i hate about the government they always think about money before people dieing and its wrong.

The point is you can do alot of things if you dont use money but the only think stopping you is the flippin greedy control freaks who sit behind a desk taxing everything.

all has been done before.

And all will be done again.

This thread is not about the utility of capitalism,

This is about a great scientific accomplishment, that holds great purpose.

If you want to discuss the cost of this experiment then go at it, but not the merits of capitalism.

It's interesting. You have to wonder where the buck will stop with things like this, though. It's amoeba at the moment, but how long before someone gets carried away with playing God. Interesting indeed, but we do need to careful at the same time.

[KnowLedge]

wow!!

now we are the GODZ of that cell

EDIT: after further research.. I found out that all they did was made their own DNA. and replacing a bacteria's DNA with this DNA>. THis isnt NOT synthetic life. This is equivalent to synthetic BRAIN. NOT LIFE.

any one with a degree can replace the DNA of a bacteria with another DNA. but they did MAKE their own dna, which the normal person with a degree cant. so it is a start. but not synthetic..

its equivalent to switching one brain with another brain in a human, but this doesnt mean you created your own brain.

please stop calling it "synthetic life" its giving everyone that sees the topic or that video bad ideas..

You probably don't know anything about microbiology so i would stop acting like you do, if i were you.

He knows as much about microbiology as Wikipedia..
But you're right. It is a matter of understanding.

are you stupid?

im doing a degree in science lmao.
what are you doing, "a 30 year old kid living with ur parents watching the news?"


“We ended up with the world’s first synthetic cell powered and controlled totally by a synthetic chromosome, made from four bottles of chemicals,” says Mr. Venter.

Synthetic chromosome = they made the chromosomes (DNA)
they replace a bacteria cell's DNA with this newly made DNA.. and then then let the cell go through its cycles.

Thats not synthetic life, its just making the the brain of a cell so you can control the cell's function.
YES, it can be used for making the cell controllable, you can tell it to do what you like, but its not a new cell. Same cell but different function.

a chromosome doesn't just split into two. there are lots and lots of cycles, and those cycles protect, copy, and translate the chromosome to make proteins.

“It is important to note that they synthesized a genome, not a whole cell,” says Ms. Edwards.

Learn some biology, and don't believe everything you see on TV.
you guys are **Filtered** illiterate scums gone out to question god on false info.

oh and Juliet, ur an idiot who lies like there is no tmr, so i dont need to explain anything to you, u **Filtered**.

this is you guys
OMG "WE MADE A CELL", OMG "GOD DOESNT EXIST"

**Filtered** illiterate idiots who jump to conclusions too fast. srsly, dont question god when it comes to life, till you figure out an actual answer.

Edit : lolz originally this topic abou "we made it life, have we been made by someone?" and now the idiot changed it.. how idiotic.

[Thriller]

Lol

i already have my degree, now get to the back of bus, new fish ,unless you want to get a smack.

I know how RNA transcription works, I know how cells matabolism works, I know a nucliode of a prokaryote is not a brain, mr bill nye.

You know how much effort it would take to create all that dna in just the right way that transcription could take place? And the cells can continue to replicate on their own...... alot...

I dont remember anyoen stating that this = no god either

now sit down and finish your homework

after that you can do my laundry, new fish.

[KnowLedge]

well if you have all that degree, and if you know all that already. then you shouldn't be arguing on THIS forum to people who MIGHT be just reading off Wikipedia (Cough*juliet*cough)
do you have any friends who have degrees that you can talk to about?
perhaps you should find a forum for intellectual discussion, not sgw forum.. lmao.

good for you, you know how transcription works, lmao.

Ive actually spliced DNA and have actually done it in lab. i admit what they did is not simple. but you changed your topic. it was about "we made life, have we been made too"?
so please go to your friends with an actual degree and go talk to them about this, not random people on forum who are illiterate idiots and are questioning things that is beyond them.

out of curiosity, what did u do ur degree in? surely you should know not to spread lies.. (ie. making topic name synthetic life when its not actually a cell, its just the DNA)
and yes, i will go back to doing my hwk

ps: nucliode doesNOT equal DNA, its the location where DNA is kept, LMAO. shows how much you know doesnt it.

[Thriller]

Actually i was the first to make a thread about this and then avenger made another so i merged them.
If you want to get your degree learn to figure stuff out.

ANd good for you, you did a lab while a professor/TA that held your hand, on an experiment for which you new the outcome. Next step is to get out their and do some actual reseach to determine a conclusion you don't yet know the answer too; like a big boy.

You really think we're that far away from creating artificial organells, cyto skeletons, ribosomes.. etc
These things are next.. transplatting the synthetic dna was just the first step

edit; your an idiot. a nucloid is a just a bunch of densly packed dna with a thin nuclear membrane.. The DNA part is implied, newfish

Also they were using prokaryotes in the experiment which do not contain chromosomes, which you mentioned.... don't get picky and think your proving anything . dimwit

[~Thamuz~]

Jeeze you 2 cut it out, argueing like two 8 year olds makes whatever degree's you have look inconsequential to how immature your both being, take it too pm's.

thats nice thamuz, but I already have mother

"In a prokaryote, the nucleoid region is the area in the cell where the single circular chromosome is found. It is not a membrane bound nucleus, as in a eukaryotic cell, but rather floats free. Often, other small circular pieces of DNA called plasmids are found in this area, and throughout the rest of the cell."

suck on that little kid

doubt u have any education at all actually, just another 30 year old watching news and making idiotic deduction!!!

ok i shell stop now and get back to homework.

OMGGGGGG

Chromosome are the basic unit of genetic information. EVERY LIVING CREATURE RUNS ON CHROMOSOMES>
yes its different from eukaryote's chromosomes.

im sry thamuz, im just trying to teach a the man with a degree

ps, for real though, im gonna get back to hwk.. dont make me come back
