Synthetic yeast will evolve on command: Biologists have built two artificial chromosome arms and put them to work in a living yeast. They plan to replace the entire yeast genome over the next five years and then evolve new strains to order...
The artificial yeast are similar to Craig Venter's synthetic cells, announced last year. Venter replaced the entire genome of a bacterium with a synthetic genome – but the task is far harder in yeast, because it is a more complex organism and has a bigger genome...
