Monday, August 31st, 2009 - by Terry MelansonOn Friday, controversial biologist Dr Craig Venter said that the creation of artificial life was mere months from taking place.
Venter reported that his team of researchers at the J Craig Venter Institute in Maryland had transferred the DNA of one type of bacteria into a yeast cell before modifying it and transferring in into another cell, according to the Daily Mail.
