The BGI corporation's cognitive genomics research project is reportedly behind schedule, facing a 12-month delay due to the acquisition of a gene sequencer company and a transition to new machines. Additionally, the lead researcher has left the project to start his own company. Despite these setbacks, the project remains funded and continues to make progress. For updates, checking their news feed or contacting them directly is suggested.
Is it a virus that can make it's own proteins; or a cell that lacks ability to metabolize.

Specific Characteristics of Sukunaarchaeum Mirabile
• Smallest Archaeal Genome: This microorganism has about 283,000 base pairs. This is far smaller than typical archaea. Such extreme reduction strips away most metabolic genes while still keeping essential ones.
• Extreme Dependency: It cannot perform its own metabolism. This means it must borrow almost everything from its host...

The study provides critical new insights into the African Humid Period, a time between 14,500 and 5,000 years ago when the Sahara desert was a green savanna, rich in water bodies that facilitated human habitation and the spread of pastoralism. Later aridification turned this region into the world's largest desert. Due to the extreme aridity of the region today, DNA preservation is poor, making this pioneering ancient DNA study all the more significant.
