The article describes Khorana and colleagues constructing the first artificial gene in 1970 at the University of Wisconsin, a 77 nucleotide yeast gene, with limited biochemical testing in living cells. By 1973 a larger E coli gene was built but lacked start and stop signals, leading to a later 200 unit gene with regulatory sequences. The gene was tested in vitro and recently inserted into a bacterium where it functioned.
