In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.
Almost all organisms follow a basic rule to make proteins. Information in DNA is encoded by codons made of three bases, or letters, and most life uses 64 codons to code for 20 naturally occurring ...
