Synthetic Biology: Genome Transferred Between Two Bacteria Via Yeast

One More Step Towards A Synthetic Genome - Artificial lifeScientists were able to transfer the genome of a type of bacteria in yeast, edit, and then successfully transplanted into a second type of bacteria. This research has helped to overcome any obstacles to create new micro-organisms that may one day be used to produce biofuels, clean up toxic sites, retaining the carbon or other applications.
