The invention provides a basic genetic operating system for an autonomous prototrophic nanomachine having a nanomachine genome encoding a minimal gene set sufficient for viability. Also provided is a basic genetic operating system for an autonomous auxotrophic nanomachine having a nanomachine genome encoding a minimal gene set sufficient for viability in the presence of an auxotrophic biomolecule. The minimal gene set encoded by the basic genetic operating system can contain the functional categories of transcription, translation, aerobic metabolism, glycolysis/pyruvate dehydrogenase/pentose phosphate pathways, carbohydrate metabolism, central intermediary metabolism, nucleotide metabolism, transport and binding proteins, and housekeeping functions. Functional categories can be arranged in a predetermined physical or temporal order. A prototrophic basic genetic operating system sufficient for autonomous viability can contain a minimal gene set of about 152 or less fundamental genes, orthologs or nonothorologous displacements thereof. An auxotrophic basic genetic operating system sufficient for autonomous viability in the presence of an auxotrophic biomolecule can contain about 151 or less fundamental genes, orthologs or nonothorologous displacements thereof. Also provided is a basic genetic operating system sufficient for autonomous prototrophic or auxotrophic viability which can have an expression control region for the production of a biomolecule. Viable autonomous prototrophic and auxotrophic nanomachines are also provided.
