Evolution in 3 days!

Monday, August 23, 2010
One of Craig Venter's competitors, Harvard's Dr. Church, made a significant announcement in the field of synthetic biology yesterday. For months now, they have been racing against the J. Craig Venter Institute to be the first to complete the project and allow it to be sold on the market. Even though the Venter Institute brought their news first, Dr. Church still believes that his product can be marketed to drug companies and sold for profit. 

The product that he has designed is a table-top mutagenesis kit able to induce up to 50 DNA sequence changes at once. This kit is similar to the standard site-directed mutagenesis kit but on a much larger scale.
