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

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 ...

This study details the design and optimization of synXVI, a synthetic yeast chromosome, overcoming growth challenges through innovative genomic strategies.

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism—a novel genomically recoded organism ...

Venter replicated the DNA of a bacterium in 2008 and in 2010 announced the creation of a self-replicating synthetic genome, or DNA, in a bacterium taken from a different species, spurring a ...
