For the first time ever, a synthetic eukaryotic genome has been created. By taking yeast cells and rebuilding their genomes, scientists were able to create a yeast that more resilient and produced ...

Genome construction involves three basic steps: oligonucleotide synthesis, genome assembly, and delivery of the synthetic genome into cells. Refactoring or streamlining is an acceptable strategy for ...

Technology: Strains of algae engineered by Synthetic Genomics excrete oils that could be refined to make biofuels, including equivalents of gasoline and diesel. In partnership with ExxonMobil ...

Researchers have generated E. coli with a fully synthetic genome in which three codons have been replaced with their synonyms, reports a paper published yesterday (May 15) in Nature. The ...

J.C.V.: The way we had originally envisioned it, we were just going to have the synthetic genome that we assembled on the lab bench and then we were going to transplant it into a recipient cell.

Despite these promises, the wealth of sequence data from human pathogens coupled with advances in synthetic genomics also poses certain ethical and safety-related challenges. What if artificial ...

The international team has already combined six and a half synthetic chromosomes in a functional cell. It is the first time scientists have written a eukaryotic genome from scratch. Yeasts are a ...

Macquarie University researchers have worked with an international team of scientists to achieve a major milestone in synthetic biology by completing the creation of the final chromosome in the ...

Twist Bioscience Corporation (NASDAQ: TWST), a core mid-cap growth and value equity company in the life sciences segment of ...

In this webinar, we revisit the fascinating world of synthetic biology with Professor Ron Weiss of MIT, a visionary pioneer in the field. Explore how advances in genome engineering are enabling ...

The 2025 award recipients are: These awardees represent the next generation of genomics leaders, tackling challenges across biomedical and agricultural sciences. Their work spans synthetic biology ...
