Thank you @ERC_Research, feeling truly challenged by this project and can't wait to see it unfold 🪁 The list of people to thank for the support is way too long, but I'm super grateful for everyone there ❤️
All known living cells produce proteins from the same 20 coded amino acids. Now new research from Klára Hlouchová @science_charles aims to construct a bacterial strain relying on only 19! Discover 👉 europa.eu/!Q7nR77 🇪🇺#FrontierResearch #ERCCoG
