Epigenetic changes do not alter the genetic code itself, but by changing how DNA is organized within the cell, epigenetic ...

The yeast nuclear endonuclease Rnt1 has a well-characterized role in the maturation of many ncRNA precursors. However, the scope and consequence of its function in mRNA degradation pathways is much ...

But with increasingly efficient and cheaper DNA reading and synthesis technologies, the goal isn’t beyond reach. Similar techniques could also inspire other projects to redesign chromosomes in ...

The large consortium has the objective of synthesizing all 16 natural chromosomes of the baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and then combining them to form a completely synthetic cell. The ...
