In Breakthrough, Scientists Resurrect Prehistoric Molecules in Search of Modern Medicine
Briefly

ABSTRACT breaks down mind-bending scientific research, future tech, new discoveries, and major breakthroughs.In a major breakthrough, scientists have resurrected natural molecules that existed as early as 100,000 years ago by stitching together DNA from prehistoric microbes, reports a new study.Researchers taught living microbes to interpret genetic information from their ancient relatives, allowing them to synthesize compounds dubbed paleofurans that last existed in the Pleistocene era, when mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and Neanderthals still roamed our planet.
