Building a chromosome from scratch may sound like science fiction, but scientists have actually done it-and made it work. In ...

Scientists have engineered a chromosome entirely from scratch that will contribute to the production of the world’s first synthetic yeast. Researchers in the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB ...

To tackle the conundrum, Yingjin Yuan, a professor of biochemical engineering at Tianjin University, turned to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and has designed yeast artificial chromosomes as a ...

Scientists at the Institute of Cancer Research in London and Linköping University in Sweden have discovered how cells prevent ...

Figure 1: Network visualization of chromosome maintenance and duplication machinery in baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In Figure 1, yeast proteins involved in chromosome maintenance and ...

Instead of the linear chromosomes found in mammals, the team crafted a circular chromosome, which is compatible with DNA replication in yeast. They then assembled the HAC inside budding yeast. By ...

A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine provides insights into how cells maintain the tiny end caps of chromosomes as they divide, a key process in keeping cells healthy. Using yeast, the ...

The sex-ratio balance is maintained as genes on the X and Y chromosomes co-adapt to keep each other in ... Slx and Y-linked Sly gene families from mouse and putting them into yeast. “We introduced ...
