Abstract in brief
Synthetic biologists are working on creating entirely new forms of life, such as XNA (xeno nucleic acids), which are different from natural DNA and RNA, to develop safer biological systems.
XNA's structural differences make it invisible to natural life, acting as a "genetic firewall" that prevents the exchange of genetic information, thereby enhancing biosafety.
The article discusses the importance of designing biosafety protocols for XNA-based life forms, the steps needed to create the first XNA organism, and the societal implications of this groundbreaking technology.]
