Engineered Bacterium Functions with Simplified Genetic Code
Researchers created Syn57, a modified E. coli bacterium functioning with 57 genetic codons instead of the standard 64, achieved by completely redesigning its genome using CRISPR-Cas9 and viral enzymes, opening new avenues in biotechnology and raising implications for environmental safety and protein...
