The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Varieties of Living Things: Life at the Intersection of Lineage and Metabolism (2009, methodology): “Several of these have now been synthesized from scratch and used successfully to infect cells (e.g., Tumpey et al. 2005; Smith et al. 2003; Cello et al. 2002).”
Synthetic biology - putting engineering into biology (2006, background): “This technology has already led to the complete reconstruction of some smaller phage genomes such as the polio virus ( Cello, et al., 2002 ).”
A Synthetic Genetic Edge Detection Program (2009, background): “Other functional DNA elements used in the construction of the edge detector are the weak ribosome binding site RBS3(Weiss, 2001) and the ORF of the lacZ gene.”
Infectious Disease Threats in the Twenty-First Century: Strengthening the Global Response (2019, background): “More recently, another team of researchers synthesized horsepox, a relative of smallpox not known to harm humans (51) .”
