This engineered genome will help experts tailor organisms to fit the needs of their ever-changing environments.

Scientists have finally created synthetic life in a lab by constructing a synthetic yeast for the first time in history.

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 ...

After more than a decade of work, researchers have reached a major milestone in their efforts to re-engineer life in the lab, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Macquarie University researchers, alongside an international team, have achieved a significant milestone in synthetic biology by completing the final chromosome of the world's first synthetic yeast ...
