Researchers have successfully demonstrated that a key cellular enzyme can accurately read an expanded, eight-letter genetic alphabet. By showing that synthetic DNA behaves remarkably like natural DNA, this breakthrough brings scientists closer to creating entirely new biological systems designed to target diseases and manufacture advanced therapeutics.
