This research demonstrates how unnatural base pairs are inserted in DNA, suggesting advances in synthetic biology applications.
Ever since I read the highly praised article by Floyd Romesberg in Nature back in 2013 I got really interested in synthetic biology . In said article, an unnatural base pair (UBP) was not only inserted into a DNA double strand in vivo but the organism was even able to reproduce the UBPs present in subsequent generations. Inserting new unnatural base pairs in DNA works a lot like editing a computer’s code.
