A new synthetic lifeform, often referred to as “mirror life,” has recently emerged as a potential risk to humankind. With its inherent capacity for rapid evolution and adaptation, this life form could ...

Scientists have created a bacteria with a genetic code more streamlined – and more meddled with – than any other life on Earth. This bacteria, a synthetic Escherichia coli called Syn57, has been ...

For the first time ever, a synthetic eukaryotic genome has been created. By taking yeast cells and rebuilding their genomes, scientists were able to create a yeast that more resilient and produced ...

In our high school chemistry classes we all learn about chirality, the property of organic molecules in which two chemically identical molecules can have different structures that are mirror images of ...

WASHINGTON, May 20 (Reuters) - Scientists working to make a synthetic life form reported a major step forward on Thursday, saying they had created an artificial genome and used it to bring a ...
