The Synthetic Human Genome Project, backed by the Wellcome Trust, is a new initiative aiming to construct an entire human genome from chemically synthesized DNA. Unlike traditional genetic editing, which modifies existing sequences, this project seeks to create human chromosomes from the ground up. The Synthetic Human Genome Project is […]
Remote Control of Bodily Functions Can Be Enabled by Transgenic DNA Modifications
Scientists describe a working mechanism to cure diabetes in mice Can we alter people’s genes via a surreptitious DNA transfection to remotely control their bodily functions? In the past, such discussions belonged to the realm of science fiction, supervillain cartoons, or conspiracy theories. Not anymore. A new study published in Nature Metabolism described a particular transfection of human […]
