Life on Earth has always used four DNA letters, but scientists have created a bigger genetic alphabet and found something unexpected
Scientists have demonstrated RNA polymerase can read eight genetic letters. This enzyme accurately transcribes synthetic DNA, which nature never evolved. Such findings expand the design space for new biological molecules. This could lead to novel medical diagnostics and targeted therapies. Researchers are testing the boundaries of life's fundamental genetic machinery.
