Dr. Patrick Lincoln
The Forbes article Regenesis saidFour billion years ago, the first simple life emerged in Earth’s oceans, setting in motion a process driven by Darwinian competition and pure dumb luck that resulted in everything from E. coli to oak trees, from tyrannosaurs to people.
What if we could just yell “do-over”?…
Life on Earth is made up mostly of protein, which is in turn made up of 20 amino acids. But there is no clear reason that the number has to be limited… Patrick Lincoln, a synthetic biologist at the Stanford Research Institute, says there’s no reason that never-before-seen proteins can’t also be created…
Patrick Lincoln, of the Stanford Research Institute, would like to slow down bacteria’s mutation rate. “The native evolution rate is too fast for my tastes”, he says. “I’d like to prevent it from changing my very nice bug that I’ve engineered.”
