Codon Digest: Agents Design Proteins

Codon

One paper estimates that the entirety of human-created mass (half of which is concrete) probably reached the total weight of Earth’s entire biomass — every tree, bacterium, virus, and whale — in 2020. Nature Communications. Read Engineered P. taiwanensis make aromatic chemicals with yields of 32.4% from glycerol.

Is That DNA Dangerous?

Codon

It is relatively straightforward to detect the first threat―creating a virus from scratch using synthetic DNA—by searching for small fragments of known viral DNA sequences in a customer’s order. This incident spurred new laws to restrict the sale of bacteria or viruses. Journalists gather outside No.
