We expect this classification to serve as a stepping stone towards experimental investigations regarding domain functions, and experimental minimal genome reconstructions. (jcvi.org)
Other researchers have tried to make minimal genomes by stripping away one gene at a time. (sciencenewsforstudents.org)
At the JCVI he has also led the bacterial outer membrane vesicle based vaccine, genome transplantation, and Mycoplasma genitalium minimal genome projects, and projects studying other mycoplasma and ureaplasma species. (jcvi.org)
