Just as authors often read numerous books before starting their own, scientists are using decades of knowledge from sequencing the genetic codes of thousands of living things to start writing new volumes in the library of life. J. Craig Venter, Ph.D., one of the most renowned of those scientists, described construction of the first synthetic cell and many new applications of this work at the 243rd National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society.
