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

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 ...

Advances in understanding the complexity of eukaryotic transcriptomes have been ... have recently evolved to allow rapid, unbiased, genome-wide analyses of transcriptomes. First, DNA microarrays ...

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 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 have completed construction of the final chromosome in the worlds' first synthetic yeast genome following more than a decade of work, opening new possibilities for creating resilient, ...

The international team has already combined six and a half synthetic chromosomes in a functional cell. It is the first time scientists have written a eukaryotic genome from scratch. Yeasts are a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Work in the Katz lab aims to elucidate principles of eukaryotic evolution through phylogenetic reconstruction, community sampling and analyses of genome evolution. The bulk of eukaryotic diversity is ...

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