    Being able genetically change bacteria by transforming them into drug factories, such as insulin, but also the risk of obtaining potentially microganisms dangerous: these were the great opportunities and the unknowns that the February 24, 1975 they pushed the pioneers research onGenetic engineering to meet in California, ad Asylomarto give yourself rules who put black
  • How Early Earth's Environmental Cycles Shaped Molecular Evolution
    How Early Earth’s Environmental Cycles Shaped Molecular Evolution by Erica Marchand Paris, France (SPX) Feb 18, 2025 A recent study has uncovered how environmental fluctuations on early Earth influenced the formation of complex chemical mixtures, offering insights into the prebiotic chemistry that may have led to life. Researchers found that subjecting organic molecules to repeated
  • Earth’s cycles may have sparked the chemical foundations of life
    A newly published study investigates how complex chemical mixtures respond to repeated environmental fluctuations, providing insights into prebiotic processes that may have paved the way for life on Earth.  By exposing various organic molecules to cycles of drying and rehydration, researchers observed continuous transformations, selective organization, and synchronized shifts among molecular populations. These behaviors help
  • Not So Random After All: Scientists Uncover Surprising New Clues to the Origin of Life
    A new study shows that chemical mixtures evolve under changing environmental conditions, revealing how life’s building blocks may have formed. By mimicking early Earth’s wet-dry cycles, researchers found that molecules self-organized, evolved predictably, and avoided chaotic complexity. New research shows that fluctuating environmental conditions helped chemical mixtures self-organize and evolve in structured ways, challenging the
  • Money and murder: the dark side of the Asilomar meeting on recombinant DNA
    On 24 February 1975, some 150 people met at the Asilomar Conference Grounds near Monterey on the Californian coast. They were mostly scientists from the United States, together with representatives of various companies and government agencies, and 16 journalists. Their subject was the new technology of recombinant DNA — molecules created in a laboratory by
