GP-WRITE

GP-write is being implemented through a new, independent nonprofit organization, the Center of Excellence for Engineering Biology, which is managing initial planning and coordination efforts... GP-write is building on the knowledge and technological advances of HGP-read, and could be an equally transformative next step. Focused on writing and building the human (and other) genomes, the project will generate a wealth of information connecting the sequence of nucleotide bases in DNA with their physiological properties and functional behaviors, enabling the development of safer, less costly and more effective therapeutics and a broad range of applications in other areas such as energy, agriculture, healthcare, chemicals and bioremediation. Another proposed benefit will be the commercial development of new genomics analysis, design, synthesis, assembly and testing technologies, with the goal of making these technologies affordable and widely available to everyone...
