Super Humans: Scientists Rewrote a Bacteria's Genome From Scratch
Super Humans: Scientists Rewrote a Bacteria's Genome From Scratch. Are We Next? | Big Think: "Researchers replaced 62,214 base pairs of DNA.

This is the first synthetic genome ever assembled, and is being hailed as the most complex feat of genetic engineering, thus far."
