Scientists build polio virus from scratch
Scientists have built the virus that causes polio from scratch in
the lab, using nothing more than genetic sequence information from
public databases and readily available technology.
The feat proves that even if all the polio virus in the world were
destroyed, it would be easily possible to resurrect the crippling
disease. It also raises the worrying possibility that bioterrorists
could use a similar approach to create devastating diseases such as
ebola and smallpox without having to gain access to protected viral
stocks.
