Synthetic biology, the effort to engineer novel bacteria for useful purposes, holds the promise of lab-built organisms that could secrete biofuels or clean up oil spills, but also the peril of designer pathogens and unintended consequences. In a laboratory at Harvard Medical School, however, genetics professor George Church is taking a slightly different approach...
