Scientists have created Syn57, a completely synthetic bacterium with a genetic code unlike anything in nature. Unlike all known life, which uses 64 codons to build proteins, Syn57 only uses 57 — opening the door to new proteins, virus resistance, and safer genetic engineering. Built piece by piece using cutting-edge tools like CRISPR, this microbe is the most heavily redesigned organism ever made. Could this be the beginning of a new kind of life?<br />WooGlobe Ref : WGA206928<br />For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com
