    摘要:
    The de novo synthesis of genomes has made unprecedented progress and achieved milestones, particularly in bacteria and yeast. However, the process of synthesizing a multicellular plant genome has not progressed at the same pace, due to the complexity of multicellular plant genomes, technical difficulties associated with large genome size and structure, and the intricacies of gene regulation and expression in plants. Here we outline the bottom-up design principles for the de novo synthesis of the Physcomitrium patens (that is, earthmoss) genome. To facilitate international collaboration and accessibility, we have developed and launched a public online design platform called GenoDesigner. This platform offers an intuitive graphical interface enabling users to efficiently manipulate extensive genome sequences, even up to the gigabase level. This tool is poised to greatly expedite the synthesis of the P. patens genome, offering an essential reference and roadmap for the synthesis of plant genomes.
