Is synthetic DNA possible?
Is synthetic DNA possible? Because artificial gene synthesis does not require template DNA, it is theoretically possible to make a completely synthetic DNA molecule with no limits on the nucleotide sequence or size. In addition, artificial gene synthesis could in the future make use of novel nucleobase pairs (unnatural base pairs). Can we create life from DNA? Scientists have created a living organism whose DNA is entirely human-made — perhaps a new form of life, experts said, and a milestone in the field of synthetic biology. The achievement one day may lead to organisms that produce novel medicines or other...
