If you’ve seen the Avatar movie, you may amaze with the
floating mountains and glowing plants in the film. As the producer of Avatar said
that
Writer and director James Cameron does not write science fiction, he writes science fact.
now a team of scientist started a project to create Glowing
Plants using synthetic biology and Genome Compilers software. They have
published their project on the Kickstarter website for fund raising. The goal
of the project is to combine the Firefly DNA and a target plant using synthetic
biology and make the first glowing plant that can produce natural light. It was
2010 when the University of Cambridge iGem team made super shining bacteria by
recycling luciferase. Inspired by them the team members intend to create their
own glowing plant. They will use Genome Compiler and design the DNA sequence,
then print the DNA at Cambrian Genomics (DNA Laser Printing). Finally the
scientist will transform the DNA into the target planet. The project has
started by Omri Amirav-Drory (PhD and founder of the Genome Compiler Crop.), Antony
Evans (MBA and MA in Math) and Kyle Taylor (PhD in Cell and Molecular Biology)
from the United States.
