[QUOTE="Loudmouth, post: 68646245, member: 11790"] Not according to the original challenge. You need to make the RNA, proteins, and lipid bilayer as well. Simply inserting the DNA isn't enough. It would be a waste of both time and money, but is it attainable? The tough one for complex eukaryotes is getting the right mix of proteins for a single celled zygote. However, they have tricked skin cells into becoming embryonic stem cells, so we may be getting close to having the right combo of proteins. Synthesizing the proteins would be the next step which would be time consuming and expensive, but doable. [/QUOTE]
