Artificial Synthesis of the Gene
One of the most significant and fantastic achievements of the recent time, in molecular genetics, is the artificial synthesis of the genes coding for yeast alanine transfer RNA and bacterial tyrosine transfer RNA by Noble laureate H. G.Khorana and some of his associates like K. L. Agarwal during the years 1970 and 1975. The methodology by which Khorana and his associates succeeded in the artificial synthesis of the genes, has acquired the dimension of a most thrilling talc of the modern time. Khorana's approach towards the artificial synthesis of the genes for alanine tRNA of yeast and tyrosine tRNA of E. coli included following reasoning, experimentation  and methods:
