"We consider this the second in our three-step process to create the first synthetic organism," said J. Craig Venter, president of the J. Craig Venter Institute where scientists performed the study, on Thursday during a teleconference. "What remains now that we have this complete synthetic chromosome … is to boot this up in a cell."

I liked the part at the end where they talk about having to build frameworks for genetic code like we have for computer code.
Bugs are a problem though, if I code a bug, my app crashes.. If these guys code a bug, it attacks New York!
