A £10 million Wellcome Trust-funded project seeks to create artificial human genomes. Technology Networks explored the ...

Creating a synthetic human genome has the possibilities of improving human healthspans, but it also comes with extremely ...

Biological science has made such astonishing leaps in the last few decades, such as precise gene editing, that scientists are ...

Artificial human DNA, or synthetic DNA (synDNA), would be made without biological parents by instead using chemicals. SynHG ...

Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, UC Irvine, and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) have developed a method to convert human urine into a usable material. They ...

Besides, researchers designed two auxotrophic yeast strains (met15Δ and ade2Δ) to form a mutualistic relationship, cross-feeding metabolites while dividing the biosynthetic pathway into upstream and ...

This accomplishment marks the completion of the global Sc2.0 project, which aimed to create the first synthetic eukaryotic genome using Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) and a new tRNA no ...

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 ...

BGI the world's largest genomic organization and Johns Hopkins University (JHU), today signed a collaborative research agreement for the synthetic yeast project (SC2.0 PROJECT), an ambitious synthetic ...

Synthetic biology is already rewriting life. In late 2023, scientists revealed yeast cells with half their genetic blueprint replaced by artificial DNA. It was a “watershed” moment in an 18-year-long ...

“The synthetic yeast genome project is a fantastic example of science on a large scale that has been achieved by a large group of researchers from around the world. It’s been a great experience to be ...

The scientific team, led by Associate Professor Matthew Chang, is part of the Synthetic Yeast Genome Project (Sc2.0), an international consortium comprising labs all over the world working ...
