Is this a true phenomenon??
I just read 1 article, but i don't believe it
Could DNA really be synthesized using The amino acid sequence?
 
Biology news on Phys.org
From the bottom of your link:

UPDATE: (April 2) too many people thought this was serious. Please check the date of this post. Then look up if there is even a Franklin National Lab or an A. lupicus. Then chill out.

It's an April fools. To address the point of if its possible though I'll give you something to think about: how is mRNA read so that proteins might be translated (hint: look into codons).

tRNA.. nodoc or anticodon reads the Triplets of RNA and the CCA (3') end attaches to the Amino acid bringing it for protein synthesis.. so?
 
ahh.. there lies the problem. :redface:
wobble! Thank you! actually this was a part of a question, is it ok if i mentioned the question here, because it might be against the rules..i might have a follow up question..
 
May I?
is it possible to convert DNA directly to proteins?
