TED: A virus-resistant organism -- and what it could mean for the future | Jason W. Chin

The video discusses the creation of a virus-resistant organism by rewriting the genetic code of E. coli. By replacing certain codons with synonymous ones, the organism becomes resistant to viruses. This innovation opens up possibilities for creating virus-resistant crops and animals and using cells as clean factories for producing synthetic polymers. The approach could lead to sustainable industries by enabling the production and recycling of new materials.
