Instead, we could grow our furniture by custom-engineering moss or mushrooms. Perhaps glowing bacteria will light our cities, and we\u2019ll be able to bring back extinct species, or wipe out Lyme disease \u2014 or maybe even terraform Mars. Synthetic biology could help us accomplish all that.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the message of the latest video in a new mini-documentary Web series called <em>Explorations<\/em>, focusing on potentially transformative areas of scientific research: Genomics, artificial intelligence, neurobiology, transportation, space exploration and synthetic biology.
