Minimal organism JCVI-syn3.0, an engineered derivative of Mycoplasma mycoides, encodes an assortment of unrecognized membrane transporters and immunity factors
ABSTRACT In 2016, researchers at the J. Craig Venter Institute produced JCVI-Syn3.0, a derivative of Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri Large Colony strain GM12 with a re-engineered, minimized genome. The minimal synthetic genome of 532 kbp encodes 473 genes, selected from ∼910 parent genes on the basis of their indispen...
