Thank you for highlighting this @TwistBioscience - hope you are keen on many more synthetic chromosome/genome projects!

The work developing a synthetic yeast genome, Sc2.0, is a landmark for #synbio.
We are thrilled that @TwistBioscience DNA was used to support the effort: “Design, construction, and functional characterization of a tRNA neochromosome in yeast”

Scientists @BABlount @UoNLifeSci & @ProfTomEllis @Imperialcollege are poised to create the most advanced “synthetic” organism ever made — a baker’s yeast that is controlled entirely by human-made genetic instructions.

Congrats to the Sc2.0 community on this huge achievement. Just wait for our Oxytricha trifallax 2.0!!

Happy Sc2.0 day. 10 new papers published today in Cell Genomics, Cell and Molecular Cell. Telling the story of 8 more completed chromosomes (including ours) and a tRNA neochromosome and bringing more than half the syn genome together into a single cell.

Researchers have achieved a significant milestone by successfully integrating more than seven synthetic chromosomes into a single yeast cell, yielding a strain with over 50% synthetic DNA that can survive and replicate similarly to wild yeast strains: synbiobeta.com/read/its-aliv…

It’s a great pleasure to see the tRNA neochromosome finally reaching the light of day at @CellCellPress! I’m sharing co-first authorship with @DSchindler_PDR, with @caiyizhi at the helm and under the guidance of @JefBoeke. Find the article here: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

How do you build a synthetic yeast genome with thousands of designed changes and a new-to-nature genome diversification ‘scramble-ing’ mechanism?

Very proud of our November issue presenting the amazing work by the Sc2.0 consortium. Took me back to my #igem (2006) roots and I know this collection will be a landmark in synthetic biology. cell.com/cell-genomics/curre…

An international team of scientists led by @caiyizhi are one step closer to re-writing world’s first synthetic yeast genome.
The Sc2.0 team have now recreated every chromosome in baker's yeast from scratch and combined 6.5 of them in a functional cell.
