This project is about designing an organism that resembles the Last Universal Common Ancestor and whose construction is feasible.
We have to start by:
- Estimate the genomic size of LUCA.
Recent estimates sugest that LUCA was complex and probably had more than 600 genes (Kooning 2003).
- Check if a RNA genome can sustain such genome size.
- Does it had the necesary genetic machinery to support DNA?
