UK scientists to synthesise human genome to learn more about how DNA works
SMRTR summary
Scientists are launching the Synthetic Human Genome project to build human genetic material from scratch. Researchers will develop tools to construct long DNA sections and insert them into living cells, potentially leading to new therapies for diseases. The project involves UK universities and includes research on ethical implications. While far from creating designer babies, it could revolutionize medical treatments and our understanding of human genetics.
