Animal's genetic code redesigned

[Swede]

Researchers say they have created the first ever animal with artificial information in its genetic code.

The technique, they say, could give biologists "atom-by-atom control" over the molecules in living organisms.

One expert the BBC spoke to agrees, saying the technique would be seized upon by "the entire biology community".

1. Imagine what we can do, now that we can incorporate genes...

that not only do not exist in the animal but that don't exist in nature at all.

People complain about borrowing genes from one species and putting it in another. This is a whole new thing.

Incredibly cool.

2. Yeah. Watch out Tokyo. nt

3. I hear they're trying to replace the genetic code with the simpler Morse code.

Then we could transmit animals over the wires.
