As we all know, DNA is the genetic material in our bodies. In other words, DNA is the code which our computer(the brain) computes into information that we understand. DNA tells each cell what its task is and how to carry the task out. RNA uses a different protein, but is also the thinking center of our cells. XNA is like both genetic materials, but with one key difference, they use different proteins to tell the cell what to do.
In my own opinion, this is very cool. I have always wanted to be a chemical or bio-medical engineer and this greatly interests me. Another aspect that strikes me to be very amazing is that scientists can use this to cure diseases and such. All the have to do is input a genetic code and the cell will try to banish the cancer or disease from the body. Just simply stupefying.
