Functional genomics in Arabidopsis: large-scale insertional mutagenesis complements the genome sequencing project.

abstract：:Synthetic biology efforts began in simple single-cell systems, which were relatively easy to manipulate genetically (Cameron et al., 2014). The field grew exponentially in the last two decades, and one of the latest frontiers are synthetic developmental programs for multicellular mammalian systems (Black et al., 2017;...
