*Genetic tool could soon let scientists create new DNA that may help people live forever
A revolutionary new Deoxy Nucleic Acid (DNA)/genetic material tool could help take humanity a step closer to eternal life.
The device pioneers a new technique that makes it cheaper and easier to synthesise genes ‘overnight’ – a process that typically takes several days.
Scientists say the new system is also far more accurate than existing methods, allowing researchers to build DNA strands up to 10 times longer than current technology.
The technique could help scientists working to reverse the ageing process by manipulating a key molecule called telomerase – thought to repair our DNA.
Scientists at the University…
