Instead of having to deconstruct Mycoplasma genitalium, Venter's team could build it from scratch. This meant that whereas once they had to reverse-engineer the organism and see when it quit working, they could take the more elegant approach of assembling it from off-the-shelf nucleotides and seeing when...

Ohio State came into the second period with a vengeance and notched the tying goal within the first...
...Fred Claus,” another holiday movie that will be competing for audiences’ attention this season, very clearly lacks the emotional depth of “Debaters.” Nevertheless, Washington barely pauses before he jokes, “Don’t knock ‘Fred Claus!’ ‘Fred Claus’ is cool! There’s room for ‘Fred Claus’ and there’s room for ‘The Great Debaters.’”Now that...
