A new technique to clone and reassemble DNA could simplify and lower the cost of making synthetic chromosomes, according to its creators at University of Southern California (USC) Dornsife. The thing about most synthetic genomics research is that it involves building chromosomes or genomes from scratch using chemically synthesised DNA pieces.

It has suspected for many years that some diseases may be linked to non-coding or ‘junk’ DNA, but the mechanism behind the pathology hasn’t been worked out. Junk DNA is a term used to describe the 97% of the genetic sequence in human cells found between the 3% coding for our 20,000 genes, once thought to be inert.
