synthetic microbiology in particular, synthesis of viral genetic informationhttps://twitter.com/turtlekiosk/status/1248813905318641665 …
it's possible to recursively synthesize DNA macro molecules from primers https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2424292/ … though this linked method is not error free without a sequencing and correction step

a feature of viruses is their ability to reproduce even with mutations to their genome so if you wanted to make a functioning viral particle, it's possible omitting the sequencing step in recursive DNA construction & using imperfect DNA might still produce viable virions
