In a milestone achievement, a whole chromosome has been created from scratch by scientists for the first time ever. The tRNA Neochromosome is a man-made chromosome of the common baker's yeast ...

Snowflake yeast cells were grown from clusters of about 100 cells (left) to half a million cells (right) through the team's evolution experiment Georgia Tech The scientists investigated closer to find ...

Researchers have engineered one of the world's first yeast cells able to harness energy from light, expanding our understanding of the evolution of this trait -- and paving the way for advancements in ...

Our ability to manipulate the genes of living organisms has expanded dramatically in recent years. Now, researchers are a step closer to building genomes from scratch after unveiling a strain of yeast ...

A large international team has created a strain of yeast in which half of the 16 chromosomes are synthetic ones that have been redesigned and created from scratch, in a major step towards creating the ...

In starved fission yeast, the ribosomes attach to the mitochondrial outer membrane via their small subunit. This is a very unusual ‘upside-down’ orientation. What can stressed yeast teach us about ...

The presented findings are important for the field of cell-cycle control. They provide new insights into the origin of cell size variability in budding yeast. The strength of evidence is solid.
