Architect of Life

摘要

To drew endy, all the great breakthroughs in biotechnology of the past 30 years were mere tweaks. Wonders such as mass-produced insulin, cancer-fighting drugs, pest-killing crops and glowing fish— they're simply the result of moving a single gene from one organism to another. Endy has a grand ambition: to edit living organisms. Or more precisely, to rewrite DNA one unit at a time, using this genetic data to make proteins-to-order, which in turn would define entire living cells. If this venture or anything like it succeeds it will change the way mankind interacts with the living world.
