TLDR
The design, synthesis, and assembly of the 1.08–mega–base pair Mycoplasma mycoides JCVI-syn1.0 genome starting from digitized genome sequence information and its transplantation into a M. capricolum recipient cell to create new cells that are controlled only by the synthetic chromosome are reported.
Abstract
We report the design, synthesis, and assembly of the 1.08-mega-base pair Mycoplasma mycoides JCVI-syn1.0 genome starting from digitized genome sequence information and its transplantation into a M. capricolum recipient cell to create new M. mycoides cells that are controlled only by the synthetic chromosome. The only DNA in the cells is the designed synthetic DNA sequence, including "watermark" sequences and other designed gene deletions and polymorphisms, and mutations acquired during the building process. The new cells have expected phenotypic properties and are capable of continuous self-replication.

The Anthropocene: conceptual and historical perspectives

TL;DR: In this article, the Anthropocene epoch has been formally recognized as a new epoch in Earth history, arguing that the advent of the Industrial Revolution around 1800 provides a logical start date for the new epoch.

Combining two genomes in one cell: stable cloning of the Synechocystis PCC6803 genome in the Bacillus subtilis 168 genome.

TL;DR: Given the significant diversity in genome structure observed upon horizontal DNA transfer in nature, this stable laboratory-generated composite genome raised fundamental questions concerning two complete genomes in one cell and may be generally applicable to other genomes or genome loci of free-living organisms.

Cloning whole bacterial genomes in yeast

TL;DR: The cloning of whole bacterial genomes in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as single-DNA molecules is reported, and these genomes appear to be stably maintained in a host that has efficient, well-established methods for DNA manipulation.
