Probing the limits of genetic recoding using multi-omics-guided evolution

Engineering the genetic code—by reassigning multiple of the 64 natural codons—enables making organisms resistant to all viruses, preventing genetic information exchange, and allowing the biosynthesis of genetically encoded unnatural polymers. However, synonymous codon replacement—recoding—is frequen…
