Bid to program new life forms with 'operating system' for cells

openscience:

“Now imagine trying to design a similar operating system not for a laptop, a PC or even a smartphone, but rather for something much, much tinier — a living biological cell. This is exactly what a group of scientists at the University of Nottingham, in England, will attempt to do as part of a five-year, $1.58 million research project that has been aptly named AudACiOus — which, according to researchers is derived from “towArds a Universal BiologicAl-Cell Operating System” with an extraneous “D” and “U” thrown in.”
