We shall have to wait and see whether the patent application made by Craig Venter for a unicellular synthetic organism with 381 synthetic genes ( Synthia ) will become reality. Optimists estimate that it will be possible within the next 3-10 years to create wet artificial life . The next few years promise to be interesting ...
