topThen again, that spread would become a threat only if other bacteria could read the engineered gene and make proteins from it
( SYN57, MICROBE, GIBBERISH ) top
topIf the gene came from a microbe like Syn57, which used a different genetic code, it would be gibberish to natural microbes.
( SYN57, MICROBE, DNA ) top
topThey tested these changes by making small fragments of DNA and observing how well the microbe could read them.
