Revolutionary developments are giving scientists the power to write it. Instead of tinkering with existing life forms, synthetic biologists may be on the verge of writing the DNA of a living organism from scratch. In the next decade, according to some, we may even see the first synthetic human genome. Join a distinguished group of synthetic biologists, geneticists and bioengineers who are edging closer to breathing life into matter.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the full program here: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/rU_pfCtSWF4\" class=\"\" data-servicelink=\"CDIQ6TgYACITCOzD0ZjZitUCFcY2rgodwskHxSj4HQ\" data-url=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/rU_pfCtSWF4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/rU_pfCtSWF4\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/rU_pfCtSWF4<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Visit our Website: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldsciencefestival.com\/\" class=\"\" data-target-new-window=\"True\" data-url=\"http:\/\/www.worldsciencefestival.com\/\" data-servicelink=\"CDIQ6TgYACITCOzD0ZjZitUCFcY2rgodwskHxSj4HQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.worldsciencefestival.com\/\">http:\/\/www.worldsciencefestival.com\/<\/a><\/a><br \/> Like us on Facebook: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/worldsciencefestival\" class=\"\" data-target-new-window=\"True\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/worldsciencefestival\" data-servicelink=\"CDIQ6TgYACITCOzD0ZjZitUCFcY2rgodwskHxSj4HQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/worldsciencefestival\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/worldsciencefestival<\/a><\/a><br \/> Follow us on twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WorldSciFest\" class=\"\" data-target-new-window=\"True\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WorldSciFest\" data-servicelink=\"CDIQ6TgYACITCOzD0ZjZitUCFcY2rgodwskHxSj4HQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WorldSciFest\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/WorldSciFest<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- Link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dfYu-FVgSYE&feature=share\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dfYu-FVgSYE&feature=share<\/a> --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For decades, biologists have read and edited DNA, the code of life.
