The Synthetic Yeast Genome Project (Sc2.0) set out to redesign and chemically synthesize an entire eukaryotic genome. This Comment summarizes the design- and construction-related defects revealed during the construction of 16 synthetic chromosomes, and the solutions applied, drawing out the key biological and technical insights that will inform future genome-scale engineering.
