SCIENTISTS AT Harvard Medical School have developed a rapid-prototyping technique for cells that is intended to make the process of optimising chemical production from bacteria and other low-level organisms run much more quickly. A combination of robotics and a novel method for inserting multiple DNA strands into a genome at once forms the basis of the Multiplex Automated Genome Evolution (MAGE) system developed by graduate student Harris Wang and postdoctoral researcher Farren Isaacs in Professor George Church's lab at Harvard.
