Some interesting scientific research has been performed into estimating the minimal gene set required for a living cell,

It took a lot of searching through that long-winded game of 3-card-Monty to find the slight-of-hand, but there it is. The minimum is zero.

The minimum is zero.

Interesting... no genes at all? Just curious.
