Methanol is an ideal feedstock for bio-manufacturing. Converting it into lactate, a monomer for biodegradable plastic, offers a promising strategy for addressing the challenge of white pollution.
In a milestone achievement, a whole chromosome has been created from scratch by scientists for the first time ever. The tRNA Neochromosome is a man-made chromosome of the common baker's yeast ...
A large international team has created a strain of yeast in which half of the 16 chromosomes are synthetic ones that have been redesigned and created from scratch, in a major step towards creating the ...
Snowflakes of yeast in a lab offer insights into how life on Earth transitioned from single-celled into multicellular organisms. By Veronique Greenwood In a lab in Atlanta, thousands of yeast cells ...
Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the 'pacemaker' controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker ...
An international team of researchers has demonstrated that genetically engineered yeast cells can produce the natural plant product alstonine, which has shown positive effects in treating ...
“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 ...
For life on planet Earth, all roads inevitably lead to death, but they’re not all paved the same. This is what Nan Hao, an associate professor in molecular biology at the University of California, San ...
