Synthetic genomes for synthetic biology

Harris H Wang. J Mol Cell Biol. 2010 Aug.

Abstract

A genome synthesized entirely from scratch has been used to replace the native genome of a living cell, thus creating a new cell. This achievement marks a new frontier in synthetic biology to design and create genomes for organisms with few genetic tools and for applications in areas of energy, health care and the environment.
