After more than a decade of work, researchers have reached a major milestone in their efforts to re-engineer life in the lab, putting together the final chromosome in a synthetic yeast (Saccharomyces ...

The completion of chromosome synXVI allows scientists to explore new possibilities in metabolic engineering and strain ...

This study details the design and optimization of synXVI, a synthetic yeast chromosome, overcoming growth challenges through ...

Macquarie University researchers have worked with an international team of scientists to achieve a major milestone in ...

Scientists led by a Macquarie University team have completed construction of the final chromosome in the worlds’ first synthetic yeast genome following more than a decade of work, opening new ...

2006), there is no clear correspondence between genome size and number of protein-coding genes—another indication that the number of genes in a eukaryotic genome reveals little about organismal ...

This achievement represents the completion of the global Sc2.0 project to create the world's first synthetic eukaryotic genome from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker's yeast) and a new-to-nature tRNA ...

Ever since the first general surveys of nuclear DNA content were carried out in the early 1950s, it has been apparent that eukaryotic genome sizes vary enormously and that this is unrelated to ...

The findings were published in the journal Nature. “We have long known that a large portion of the eukaryotic genome consists of transposons concentrated around the centromere,” says Tsukahara ...

The last eukaryotic ancestor (LECA) shared by all living eukaryotes ... I would expect a similarly clear [genomic] signal” to that of the alphaproteobacteria in the mitochondrial genome, Leger tells ...
