MAN MADE DNA!!


Researchers have created the largest man-made DNA structure to date, are in a process of putting them a step closer to producing a completely synthetic organism, scientists say that this is a vital break through feel it’s a milestone in the field of genetics. people believe this will help to improve our understanding of genes and help to unravel mysteries,

The scientists say that this man made gene can be tested against the virus, new drugs and observed. They say that they have found out the chemical which repairs the damaged cell and hope to stimulate it artificially during viral attacks.

A group of skeptics fear that scientist may change the structure of these genes and grow it into a complete new organism or to research biological warfare.

Next step would be to insert the synthetic DNA into living cells and hope it becomes the world's first artificially created, self-replicating organism.
