The complexity of simplicity

Smallest natural genome. "The complete sequence of the 580 kb M. genitalium genome; it encodes a mere 480 proteins." https://t.co/FWEVi9TZtS

Minimum genome. “Most often this was done through the generation of a set of mutations that were subsequently classified with respect to lethality." https://t.co/FWEVi9TZtS

“Over the years, a number of experiments have been undertaken to approximate the number of essential genes within various model organisms.“ https://t.co/FWEVi9TZtS
