Lukasz Olejnik Ancestor @LukaszOlejnik@mastodon.social Scientists "cut out" everything possible from the bacterial genome to obtain a minimal cell genome. Half of the genome removed. Cells were alive and then... Even if you reduce the genome to the bare minimum, evolution means mutations. It can't be stopped! 300 days of evolution (~40k humans years) enough for a cell to gain everything that was removed. Natural selection outweighed deleterious effects of genomic disruption.
