Read this: Since genomes are very complex, one research strategy is to reduce the number of genes in a genome to the bare minimum and still have the organism in question survive. There is experimental work being done on minimal genomes for single cell organisms as well as minimal genomes for multi-cellular organisms (see Developmental biology). The work is both in vivo and in silico.
Now answer this question, if there is an answer (If it cannot be answered, return "unanswerable"): What do scientists want a silico to do in the experiment?
unanswerable
