Scientists one step closer to re-writing world’s first synthetic yeast genome, unravelling the fundamental building blocks of life

Scientists one step closer to re-writing world’s first synthetic yeast genome, unravelling the fundamental building blocks of life

Prof Cai, Chair in Synthetic Genomics at The University of Manchester who is the international coordinator of Sc2.0 project, said: “This is an exciting milestone when it comes to engineering biology. While we have been able to edit genes for some time, we have never before been able to write a eukaryote genome from scratch. … Read more
