Scientists have announced that they created an entire synthetic genome. They did this by stitching up the DNAs. They put the genome in the test tube and used brewers' yeast and that was when the genome came together through the process that the yeast used to repair DNA. "Which also means," Drew Endy,professor in the department of biological engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge and an expert in the field of synthetic biology, said, "that it will be possible to construct some mammalian chromosomes."
I think that this is really amazing because it must've taken the scientist a really long time in order to come to this conclusion. Not just that, now they found out a way to create an entire synthetic genome. Being able to duplicate the same type of DNA as the other and probably being able to function the same way. I just think that it's really amazing to be able to come up with something like that.
