A study using a synthetic ‘minimal cell’ organism stripped down to the ‘bare essentials’ for life demonstrates the tenacity of organism’s power to evolve and adapt, even in the face of an unnatural genome that would seemingly provide little flexibility.

Researchers have discovered some of the largest early prehistoric stone tools in Britain.
