Wired lists the Top 10 New Organisms of 2007. These aren’t newly discovered organisms, but rather newly-engineered ones. Much more interesting then discovering some long-eared rodent — though not as cute, I guess. There’s even mention of one of the 2007 iGEM projects, the University of Alberta “butanerds“, who engineered a butanol-producing E.coli. Hopefully this list becomes a yearly Wired feature. Not from this year, but I always thought these were cool and of course MIT’s Eau d’ecoli (though I’m biased on that one). Put your favorite new organisms in the comments.
