The purpose of creating a Beige Blue Minimalist Research Synthetic Biology is to develop a minimal genome for bacterial cells by synthesizing only the essential genes to enable life. The project aims to uncover the core genes that are necessary for viability and function of a bacterial cell, which could ultimately provide insight into the origins of life and have a transformative impact on synthetic biology and biotechnology. The minimalist approach can also have practical applications such as creating safer bacteria for environmental cleanup, increasing production of biofuels,
