Synthetic Genomes and Cells has gained significant traction in the field of human genome projects
There are many exciting developments currently being made in the field of genetic engineering with the development of synthetic microbes and their chromosomes. These involve methods for generating synthetic microbial chromosomes and synthetic genes, methods for producing synthetic microbial genomes and cell membranes, and methods for assembling synthetic chromosomes and genes. Although synthetic microbes and cells have had some initial success in certain applications, the field as a whole is currently very small and is expected to grow in the future. Much larger efforts are also underway to create more complex synthetic organisms and cells. One exciting field is that of synthetic genetics. This is an area of synthetic biology that the research group works on developing and testing new methods of creating genetically altered species of organisms. Synthetic biologists work in the field to study and characterize new species. This group includes experts from several different fields incl
