Give it a few years...

It will be their own downfall.
They simply created an organism containing synthetic nucleotides, rather than the first semisynthetic organism itself.

Venter and Gibson were at it back in 2010 with a synthetic genome.

Although it is still fascinating and opens up a world of potential.

What a time to be a molecular biologist (I might actually get a job at the end of my education).
