Accepted Answer

In 2010, scientists successfully created a synthetic genome of Mycoplasma mycoides and transferred it into a related bacterium, creating the first synthetic organism. However, in 2019, scientists have taken the genome of Mycoplasma mycoides and moved it into yeast, marking a significant step towards the creation of more complex synthetic organisms.
