What is the current state of the art regarding the smallest viable genome? This was one of the most exciting areas of synbio. There are multiple angles to the problem. Some east coast bioinformatics labs were attempting to define the smallest genome via statistical methodologies. Southern california labs were trying to evolve lines into ever smaller genomes. Some synthesis labs were trying to synthesize the minimal cell. Microfluidics biochem labs were trying to synthetically spawn life from organic chemistry. It is a landmark goal which defines the smallest packet of bioinformation required for life. Would someone summarize the status as of 2018?
