Genome transplantation was the first essential enabling step in the field of synthetic genomics as it is a key mechanism by which chemically synthesized chromosomes can be activated into viable ...

The complete synthetic M. mycoides genome was isolated from the yeast cell and transplanted into Mycoplasma capricolum recipient cells that have had the genes for its restriction enzyme removed ...

Under that rule, a synthetic human genome like the one Church described — one that resists all viruses and pathogens — would probably eligible for patenting, too.

Please talk about your research in synthetic biology and synthetic genomics? Dr. Venter: JCVI’s synthetic biology program started in 1995, when my team sequenced the first genome.
