Escherichia coli with a 57-codon genetic code The near-universal genetic code of living organisms uses 64 codons to encode the 20 canonical amino acids in protein synthesis. Here we design and generate a variant of Escherichia coli with a 4 Mb sy...

Check out the pre-print of my main PhD work, Syn57! Together with my incredible co-first authors and a big team we‘ve built a full E. coli genome operating on a 57-codon genetic code!
So much hard work, and so much love for everyone who was involved!
