It's a bacterial infection that's passed from person to person and by flies.
And it's partly because I came to this field from a different background, chemist and a bacterial geneticist.
From the dust, we pulled out bacterial cells, broke them open, and compared their gene sequences.
You'll see broad bacterial groups, and if you look at the shape of this pink lobe, it tells you something about the relative abundance of each group.
What you're looking at is a signature of bacterial communities in the outdoor air, and how they vary over time.

Once we chemically synthesized the complete bacterial genome, our next challenge was to find a way to convert it into a free-living, self-replicating cell.
Through a lot of trial and error, we developed a procedure where we could reprogram cells and even convert one bacterial species into another, by replacing the genome of one cell with that of another.
Ever since the first bacterial genome was sequenced, back in 1995, thousands more whole bacterial genomes have been sequenced and stored in computer databases.
Our synthetic cell work was the proof of concept that we could reverse this process: pull a complete bacterial genome sequence out of the computer and convert that information into a free-living, self-replicating cell, with all of the expected characteristics of the species that we constructed.
