      Okay, so slowly shrink it down to non-existence? Why does that remind me of high school?

        The resulting bacteria made with the new code were indeed a living organism, but the researchers found that they grow around four times slower than the parent strain—a problem they hope to eventually fix.

        9% reduction in genome size. 400% increase in replication time. Impressive feat of generic engineering or truly terrible compression algorithm?

          Space vs time complexity

            Well, part of science is to push the boundaries.
