TLDR
The design, synthesis, and assembly of the 1.08–mega–base pair Mycoplasma mycoides JCVI-syn1.0 genome starting from digitized genome sequence information and its transplantation into a M. capricolum recipient cell to create new cells that are controlled only by the synthetic chromosome are reported.Abstract:
We report the design, synthesis, and assembly of the 1.08-mega-base pair Mycoplasma mycoides JCVI-syn1.0 genome starting from digitized genome sequence information and its transplantation into a M. capricolum recipient cell to create new M. mycoides cells that are controlled only by the synthetic chromosome. The only DNA in the cells is the designed synthetic DNA sequence, including "watermark" sequences and other designed gene deletions and polymorphisms, and mutations acquired during the building process. The new cells have expected phenotypic properties and are capable of continuous self-replication.read more

Life as a Technological Product: Philosophical and Ethical Aspects of Synthetic Biology
TL;DR: Two main philosophically and ethically relevant characteristics of synthetic biology will be laid bare, namely its reliance on mechanistic metaphors to denominate simple forms of life and its appeal to the semantic field of creativity.

Improved PCR Amplification of Broad Spectrum GC DNA Templates.
TL;DR: Subcycling during the amplification process significantly improved amplification of short template pools, particularly when the template contained a low percent of GC, and 7-deaza-dGTP improved the amplification of longer products.
