Perfect matching of an assembled physical sequence to a specified designed sequence is crucial to verify design principles in genome synthesis. We designed and de novo synthesized 536,024-base pair chromosome synV in the "Build-A-Genome China" course. We corrected an initial isolate of synV to perfectly match the designed sequence using integrative cotransformation and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9)-mediated editing in 22 steps; synV strains exhibit high fitness under a variety of culture conditions, compared with that of wild-type V strains. A ring synV derivative was constructed, which is fully functional in under all conditions tested and exhibits lower spore viability during meiosis. Ring synV chromosome can extends Sc2.0 design principles and provides a model with which to study genomic rearrangement, ring chromosome evolution, and human ring chromosome disorders.
组装的物理序列与指定设计序列的完美匹配对于验证基因组合成中的设计原则至关重要。我们在“中国基因组计划”课程中设计并从头合成了 536024 碱基对的染色体 synV。我们使用整合共转化和簇状规律间隔短回文重复(CRISPR)/CRISPR 相关蛋白 9(Cas9)介导的编辑,在 22 步中纠正了 synV 的初始分离物,使其与设计序列完全匹配;与野生型 V 菌株相比,synV 菌株在各种培养条件下表现出更高的适应性。构建了一个环形 synV 衍生物,该衍生物在所有测试条件下都具有完全功能,并且在减数分裂过程中孢子活力较低。环形 synV 染色体可以扩展 Sc2.0 设计原则,并提供一个模型来研究基因组重排、环形染色体进化和人类环形染色体疾病。
