Genome design is the foundation of genome synthesis, which provides a new platform for deepening our understanding of biological systems by exploring the fundamental components and structure of the genome. Artificial genome designs can endow unnatural genomes with desired functions. We provide a comprehensive overview of genome design principles ranging from DNA sequences to the 3D structure of chromosomes. Furthermore, we highlight applications of genome design in gene expression, genome structure, genome function, and biocontainment, and discuss the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in genome design.
