MINIMAL CELL. “In 2007 Venter transplanted the genome of one Mycoplasma bacterium into another. Venter and his colleagues also synthesized a trimmed down, artificial version of Mycoplasma’s DNA, a project known as the Minimal Genome Project. Attempts to implant the synthetic DNA all failed, until now.” A drive to create a universal cell recipient for synthetic life.
