22.4 Synthetic Genomes, Genome Transplantation, and the Emergence of Synthetic Biology

• A synthetic genome is an artificially constructed genome for artificial cells or designer organisms.
• The bacteria mycoplasma genitalium is a simple self-replicating bacteria serving as a model for understanding the minimal elements of a genome necessary for a self-replicating cell.
• Comparative genomics estimates that 256 genes may represent the minimum gene set needed for life.
• Genome transplantation is the true test of the functionality of the synthetic genome.
• A functional synthetic genome of Mycoplasma mycoides was created in 2010 and was successfully transplanted into an existing genome of M. capricolum.

22.6 Genome-Wide Association Studies Identify Genome Variations That Contribute to Disease
• GWAS links 3000 genetic variations to about 150 traits.
• GWAS are done by comparing the genomes of thousands of unrelated individuals with a particular disease and comparing to genomes of those without the disease to identify variations that may confer risk of developing the disease.
