Researchers detailed the structural basis of how E. coli RNA polymerase reads this hachimoji alphabet, marking a major breakthrough in expanding genetic capabilities. While standard biology relies on four fundamental nucleotide letters, this development proves that natural cellular machinery can process artificial genetic systems with twice the capacity. This advancement opens new pathways for synthetic biology
