Scientists are trying to create artificial DNA!

The Dhaka Times Desk A group of researchers in California, USA, is trying to create organisms to create artificial genetic code. Maybe it's not too far off when these artificial organisms can spontaneously produce genetic material instead of genetic material.

Researchers say, if this matter can be invented, it will be possible for us to solve many diseases. DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid. It contains the various characteristics of human life in the form of genetic code. It contains many nucleotides. These nucleotides are made up of several elements. These elements are called adenine, guanine, thiamine and cytosine. They are denoted by A, G, T and C. But the researchers were able to add two new nucleotides to the DNA of a bacterial body. These new nucleotides are named X and Y. As a result, the number of nucleotides in DNA stands at six.

The result of this study was very surprising. This new organism is able to locate the nucleotides very well and reproduce them in new ways. The results of this new research are shining a new light of hope in front of us, that it is possible to change the genetic modification or DNA bond. But in addition this possibility raises many questions before us as to how certain its legal and good use will be. Theoretically, scientists knew that it was possible to modify DNA, but the experimental concept was not available until now. After introducing new nucleotides into the body of the bacterium, it is better able to make new types of proteins.

Be that as it may, the bottom line is that the bacteria with the new nucleotide cannot survive in the normal environment. So it is kept in a special environment inside the lab. Researchers are claiming that the bacterium is able to survive in that environment and produce new types of proteins.
