Five New Artificial Yeast Chromosomes Set Stage for First Synthetic Eukaryotic Genome (2 of 2)

image: Scientists of the Synthetic Yeast GENOME Project (Sc2.0) who previously constructed a single yeast chromosome now report constructing five more -- representing more than one-third of yeast's entire genome, in total. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the March 10, 2017, issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by S.M. Richardson at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Md., and colleagues was titled, 'Design of a synthetic yeast genome.' view more
