scientists synthesize eukaryotic genome from scratch in the lab

[scruffy]

In a major technological advance, Australian scientists have fully synthesized all 16 chromosomes of the yeast saccharomyces Cerevisiae.

Scientists Just Achieved a Major Milestone in Creating Synthetic Life

After more than a decade of work, researchers have reached a major milestone in their efforts to re-engineer life in the lab, putting together the final chromosome in a synthetic yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) genome.

Construction and iterative redesign of synXVI a 903 kb synthetic Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome - Nature Communications

The Sc2.0 project involved synthesis and debugging of 16 chromosomes, and a tRNA neochromosome. Here the authors descript the SynXVI project, accompanied by an analysis of how similar projects could operate with hindsight and newly available technologies, and lessons learned from Sc2.0.

Yes, isn't it amazing what can be done when intelligence is available.

So, now they just have to figure out how to make chromosomes...The best way is to ask God
