What this contributes

Combines synthetic chromosomes and investigates interacting design defects.

The boundary of the evidence

Viability is strain- and condition-dependent.

Why it belongs here

Humanized yeast and synthetic chromosomes show that cells can be engineered to carry selected sequences and perform specific functions. These studies give the Culture a research context. They do not demonstrate the proposed memorial product, complete body conversion or the preservation of a person.
