Recoding E.coli: rE.coli Step2. >4000 changes remove rare Arg coding free two more codons Step 3. >70,000 changes swap Leu and Ser codons orthogonal genetic codes! Step1. >300 changes TAG stops become TAA stops leaves one codon free E. Coli MG1655 4.6 MB Current “price tag” >$3 million per genome (and we want several of these)
