Synthetic DNA compounds called XNAs can also store and copy genetic information, a new study says.
First, researchers made XNA building blocks to six different genetic systems by replacing the natural sugar component of DNA with one of six different polymers, synthetic chemical compounds. The team...then evolved enzymes, called polymerases, that can make XNA from DNA, and others that can change XNA back into DNA.
