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.

A strain of yeast has had half its DNA replaced with artificial chromosomes in a major step towards creating the first complex cell with an entirely synthetic genome https://t.co/JltGo6Wxje
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: https://t.co/Kerj85WVj3
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: https://t.co/yjGYGIWdPq
Congratulations to all the consortium members for their hard work and contributions towards a landmark achievement in synthetic biology! @PaulsenLab@SynGenome
#Yeast cell created with an over 50% synthetic #genome can survive and replicate similar to wild type.
See below a collection of papers presenting this half-synthetic yeast and showcasing the #SyntheticYeastGenomeProject (Sc2.0) @yeastgenome 🧵
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. https://t.co/EfetEUJnDD

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.
