We’ve created artificial microbes in the past, but in each of those cases, researchers were working with viruses or bacteria. There’s no denying their work is impressive, but viruses and bacteria have ...

NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A team led by researchers at NYU Langone Health has built nine new synthetic yeast chromosomes, swapping out a key organism's genetic material for engineered ...

Researchers have combined over seven synthetic chromosomes that were made in the lab into a single yeast cell, resulting in a strain with more than 50% synthetic DNA that survives and replicates ...

Our ability to manipulate the genes of living organisms has expanded dramatically in recent years. Now, researchers are a step closer to building genomes from scratch after unveiling a strain of yeast ...

“Our motivation is to understand the first principles of genome fundamentals by building synthetic genomes,” says co-author and synthetic biologist Patrick Yizhi Cai (@caiyizhi) of the University of ...

Scientists have come one step closer to creating a synthetic yeast. For more than 15 years, researchers have worked tirelessly to build a complex cell with an entire genome from the ground up. And now ...
