Scientists at the Research Institute, which houses the top-rated Kellog School of Technology and Science, created a new organism that have two new genetic letters to the DNA structure: X and Y. The invention was led by Chemist Floyd Romesberg. Because of this creation, they hope this to be the big hope in medicine that present cells with the normal genetic code just cannot make. With this new “alien” species conflicting from all living organisms on Earth, it supports the concept that it’s possible for life forms beyond our planet to have a totally different genetic code than species on this planet. How researchers pulled this off was during implantation of newly prepared nucleotides into a bacterium. All life on earth consists of the four necessary genetic letters A, C, G, T. In this case, they used the general bacterium E. Coli, with surprising results. The fresh created organism was able to reproduce and replicate the new X and Y nucleotides along with the normal genetic
