Genetically Encoded Polymer Synthesis

Researchers added synthetic DNA to a virus-resistant organism that allowed for the building of new polymer molecules using cellular factories, which could potentially be broken down into constituent chemical building blocks for recycling. However, this required the engineering of translational machinery to read triplet codons and reassign them to new chemical building blocks not found in nature.
