Work begins to create artificial human DNA from scratch

Work has started on a groundbreaking project to create artificial human DNA, a venture considered the first of its kind. The project, supported by the Wellcome Trust, aims to accelerate the development of treatments for incurable diseases and improve overall health by studying and experimenting on synthetic human chromosomes to understand gene regulation better. This Synthetic Human Genome Project, building human DNA molecule by molecule, opens avenues for potential advancements in medicine and biology. The initiative follows the completion of the Human Genome Project and could lead to significant breakthroughs in disease research and treatments.
