United Kingdom’s Wellcome Trust & its global partners have created: A hybrid AI - Human being.
Synthetic Biology = Synthetic Agents = Causative Agents = AI Agents -
An ambitious new research project, SynHG (Synthetic Human Genome), is aiming to develop the foundational and scalable tools, technology and methods needed to synthesise human genomes. Through programmable synthesis of genetic material we will unlock a deeper understanding of life, leading to profound impacts on biotechnology, potentially accelerating the development of safe, targeted, cell-based therapies, and opening entire new fields of research in human health. Achieving reliable genome design and synthesis – i.e. engineering cells to have specific functions – will be a major milestone in modern biology.
**Wellcome is also funding Care-full Synthesis, a dedicated social research initiative conducting empirical studies with diverse publics worldwide. Led by Professor Joy Y. Zhang and hosted by the Centre for Global Science and Epistemic Justice (GSEJ) at the University of Kent, the project builds on GSEJ’s global network of academic, civil society, industry and policy partners to promote a new approach of science–society dialogue that is Open, Deliberative, Enabling, Sensible & Sensitive, and Innovative (‘ODESSI’).

*"Professor Patrick Yizhi Cai, Chair of Synthetic Genomics at the University of Manchester said: "We are leveraging cutting-edge generative AI and advanced robotic assembly technologies to revolutionize synthetic mammalian chromosome engineering. Our innovative approach aims to develop transformative solutions for the pressing societal challenges of our time, creating a more sustainable and healthier future for all."
Another project Europe’s “MiniLife” is "exploring bottom-up creation of minimal or proto-cells that can undergo Darwinian evolution". These initiatives emphasize methods, safety frameworks, and basic science as well as technical goals.
De novo construction and evolvability of Minimal Lifelike Systems
The ERC-funded MiniLife project aims to develop the first synthetic chemical systems that encompass all core features expected of synthetic living systems, from self-sustainability to inheritance systems. The project will leverage its expertise in chemistry and biology, along with the strengths of a robust consortium of collaborators with access to essential technologies, research, and experts, to achieve a groundbreaking milestone in basic science.

Scientists have created artificial life in the lab for the first time. The complete genome of the yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae was finally synthesized. European scientists are pushing new boundaries with the MiniLife project that aims to create metabolically active life out of nothing.

Evolutionary biologists have set out to create life from chemical molecules under laboratory conditions as part of a six-year project called MiniLife, funded by the European Research Council.
A metabolic system: A system for storing and copying information, and an interface that separates the organism from its environment.The three systems are linked by complex chemical processes (aka SYNBIO) that share the common characteristic of helping each other and themselves to function.
The four researchers aim to create a “living minimal system” by the end of the six-year funding period, i.e. small units that can use the molecules in the nutrient solution to create new copies of themselves. Under a microscope, these will presumably look like small spheres.
