Methods for generating synthetic genomes, for example synthetic genomes having desired properties or viable genomes of reduced size, are disclosed. Also disclosed are synthetic genomes produced by the methods disclosed herein and synthetic cells containing the synthetic genomes disclosed herein.

Generation of synthetic genomes

Compositions and methods are disclosed herein for cloning a synthetic or a semi-synthetic donor genome in a heterologous host cell. In one embodiment, the donor genome can be further modified within a host cell. Modified or unmodified genomes can be further isolated from the host cell and transferred to a recipient cell. Methods disclosed herein can be used to alter donor genomes from intractable donor cells in more tractable host cells.
