Chapter 19, Problem 6PDQ

Summary Introduction

To review:

The creation of synthetic genome by the team of J. Craig Venter Institute and demonstration of the developed synthetic genome in the conversion of recipient strain of bacteria into a different strain.

Introduction:

Synthetic genome allows the researchers to produce the genetically engineered and modified organisms. These genetically engineered organisms possess the unique characteristics and have a significant commercial value. Synthetic genomes also lead to the production of certain novel characters in the recipient cell after the transformation.
