In this case, the gene encoding T7 RNA polymerase was added to the SpudCell genome, and it was made by those artificial cells ...

Inside every cell are lipid molecules that make up cellular membranes, helping organelles communicate and respond to stress.

From why it was created to whether it’s alive, here’s what to know about SpudCell, the latest advance in synthetic biology.
