Macquarie University researchers and an international team have completed the final chromosome in the world’s first synthetic yeast genome, a significant milestone in synthetic biology. This ...

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 ...

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

a team of researchers constructed a fully synthetic chromosome, named synXVI, as part of the Sc2.0 project — a global initiative to redesign the genome of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The Sc2.0 project, of which this research is a part, isn't just about modifying crops. The same principles could also be applied to medicines and sustainable materials, with opportunities to speed up ...

Synthetic bacterial genome upgraded for viral defence and biocontainment In addition, the Sc2.0 project used a system called SCRaMbLE, in which yeast genes deemed non-essential are flanked by DNA ...

According to a new study led by a team from Macquarie University in Australia, researchers have finally assembled the final chromosome in a synthetic yeast. This might not sound like much to most.

This synthetic genome tech means that life-forms can be customized depending on what aspects need to be enhanced. As part of the Sc2.0 Project, for example, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was ...
