With the rapid growth and development of synthetic biology, research in the genomics is advancing from genome sequencing to genome synthesis. In 2009, Professor Jef D. Boeke proposed the Synthetic Yeast Genome Project (Sc2.0), which aims to synthesize the world's first eukaryotic genome. With the efforts of scientists from the United States, China, Britain, France, Australia, Singapore and other countries, a third of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosomes has now been synthesized. In the perspectives of synthetic genomics, we here review the recent progress in the Sc2.0 project, including discussion on the right arm of chromosome 9, and chromosomes 2, 5, 6, 10, 12, in terms of their designs and synthetic strategy as well as the biological significance, thereby providing a reference for further research in synthetic genomics.
