Creation of a Bacterial Cell Controlled by a Chemically Synthesized Genome


“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. “
— Gibson et al., 10.1126/science.1190719 — Science

“The watermark, Dr Venter says, includes a cipher which contains the URL of a website and three quotations, if you can work out how to decode it. The plaintext part of the watermark brands the bug as Dr Venter’s own, encoding its serial number as JCVI-syn1.0.”

Hans Reichel


“The daxophone, invented by Hans Reichel, is a experimental musical instrument of the friction idiophones category… Reichel has documented the construction of the instrument in a way that a skilled woodworker could build his own. Plans are downloadable from his website, with a collection of proven shapes for the blade delivered in the file format of a font, thus playing on Reichel’s other profession as a typeface designer.”
