The scientists say that this man made gene can be tested against the virus, new drugs and observed. They say that they have found out the chemical which repairs the damaged cell and hope to stimulate it artificially during viral attacks.
A group of skeptics fear that scientist may change the structure of these genes and grow it into a complete new organism or to research biological warfare.
Next step would be to insert the synthetic DNA into living cells and hope it becomes the world's first artificially created, self-replicating organism.
