By conducting a study on one of the modified organisms, a unicellular organism lacking organelles and nuclei, called bacterium, whose genome is composed of both deoxyribonucleic (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), the group of scientists hopes to be able to shed light on the early genetic material of evolution, which also includes a theoretical transition from a place where most of life rests entirely on life. ARN, DNA serving as a store of genetic information.
Scientists also hope to be able to understand the chronics of the cellular powerhouses called mitochondria, the second artificial organism; they can modify the yeast that contains an endosymbiotic bacteria. The function of mitochondria is to provide essential energy to different cells, such as eukaryotes, and to a vast group of organisms with cells containing the nucleus.
The researchers reported on the engineering performed on two articles, one published October 29, 2018 in the PNAS Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and another article published on August 30, 2018. in the JACS Journal of the American Chemical Society.
Scripps Research Chair and lead author Peter Schultz, Ph.D., said, "Recently modified organisms should allow them to probe two of the important core theories about important milestones in the evolution of living organisms. know the passage of RNA to the world of DNA.
