Why build a minimal genome?

Genomes are complex! Determining how simplified a genome can become enriches our understanding the function and interactions of cellular components. Simplified cells can be used as a well characterized chasses for synthetic biology. Moreover, a simplified cell can be used to study cellular processes in a controlled, characterized genetic background. Finally, developing a minimal genome requires us to develop and optimize molecular methods of genome assembly. These methods can be then applied to other high through put biology.
