Synthetic genomes unveil the effects of synonymous recoding

Ákos Nyerges, Anush Chiappino-Pepe, Bogdan Budnik, Maximilien S. Baas-Thomas, Regan Flynn, Shirui Yan, Nili Ostrov, Min Liu, Meizhou Wang, Qingmei Zheng, Fangxiang Hu, Kangming Chen, Alexandra Rudolph, Xi Dawn Chen, Jenny J. Ahn, , George McDonald Church

This study uses synthetic genomes to investigate how synonymous codon recoding affects organismal fitness and develops a workflow to overcome lethal effects of codon swaps.

Swapped genetic code blocks viral infections and gene transfer

Ákos Nyerges, Svenja Vinke, Regan Flynn, Siân V. Owen, Eleanor A. Rand, Bogdan Budnik, Eric C. Keen, Kamesh Narasimhan, Jorge A. Marchand, Maximilien S. Baas-Thomas, Min Liu, Kangming Chen, Anush Chiappino-Pepe, Fangxiang Hu, Michael Baym, George McDonald Church

The paper demonstrates a genetic code reassignment strategy that makes cells resistant to viral infections and prevents horizontal gene transfer by mistranslating viral proteins and relying on synthetic codons.
