Biology and Engineering

In reflection to our class discussion and presentation I looked up an article that brings together biology and engineering. In doing so I came across this article that talks about synthetic biology. Genetic researchers found a way to create the first cell controlled by a synthetic genome. They believe it could lead to the building of bacteria with certain functions that they can customize. I like to see people from different professions coming together to reach a goal for a good cause. The article just goes off to explain a little more on who worked on the project and what they want to continue to work on
