Mycoplasma laboratorium Reich, 2000

實驗室黴漿菌學名Mycoplasma laboratorium[1],又稱為辛西亞(Synthia,意譯“人造兒”),人類歷史上的首個人造生命,誕生於2010年,由美國生物學家克雷格·文特爾領導的約翰·克雷格·凡特研究所英语J. Craig Venter Institute制造。研究共進行15年,耗資4000萬美元。辛西婭是以經電腦修改過的絲狀支原體絲狀種英语Mycoplasma mycoidesDNA,移植到山羊支原體中,辛西婭能自我複製產生新一代。[2][3][4]

In addition, the difficult genetics in these organisms makes subsequent verification of essentiality by directed knockouts problematic and virtually precludes the possibility of performing a de novo synthesis of ‘M. laboratorium’, the origin of the attention in the popular press.
