• Resumen

  • Yeast just got an upgrade: an entirely synthetic chromosome. The development is being hailed as a milestone for biology, and could lead to microbes that produce exotic materials not found in nature. Jef Boeke at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore MD and his colleagues created a version of yeast chromosome III. Crucially, it contains a suite of changes that make it differ significantly from the original.
