World's next fuel source could be designer organisms | Tech News on ZDNet

Let's hope this line of research produces a cheaper alternative to some of our energy needs.

World's next fuel source could be designer organisms | Tech News on ZDNet: "'Rapid advances in high throughput DNA sequencing and synthesis, as well as high performance computing and bioinformatics, now enable us to synthesize novel photosynthetic and metabolic pathways,' Venter said in a statement earlier this year. 'We are in an era of rapid advances in science and are beginning the transition from being able to not only read genetic code, but are now moving to the early stages of being able to write code.'"
