Science One Step Closer To Creating New Form Of Life And Ending All Previous Older Life Forms

“We’ve been able to show that both heredity — information storage and propagation — and evolution, which are really two hallmarks of life, can be reproduced and implemented in alternative polymers other than DNA and RNA.”
— Dr. Philipp Holliger of the UK Medical Research Council’s Laboratory of Molecular Biology discusses his and his colleagues’s recent success in “mimicking the chemistry of life in synthetic versions of DNA and RNA molecules.” This means that I am going to have to rework the bracketology chart I’ve been keeping in my head about How Mankind Will Perish. “Devoured by synthetic life forms we’ve created ourselves” is going to have to be at least a two seed.
