    • Abstract:
      The article reports that two artificial DNA bases, alpha and beta, have been created using laboratory techniques by scientists at the Scripps Research Institute of San Diego, California. Floyd Romesberg, leading chemist on the project, hopes to manipulate the genetic coding of bacteria to create more efficient drugs. DNA manipulation is seen as the doorway to developing genetic material designed to interact with more elements than standard DNA.
