Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing ...

Macquarie University researchers and an international team have completed the first synthetic yeast genome, a breakthrough in synthetic biology. Published in Nature Communications, this achievement ...

and a new-to-nature tRNA neochromosome. Using genome-editing techniques, including the CRISPR D-BUGS protocol, the team identified and corrected genetic errors that impacted yeast growth.

This study details the design and optimization of synXVI, a synthetic yeast chromosome, overcoming growth challenges through innovative genomic strategies.

Macquarie University researchers, alongside an international team, have achieved a significant milestone in synthetic biology by completing the final chromosome of the world's first synthetic yeast ...

The crystal structure of pseudouridine synthase I from Escherichia coli, which, for example, modifies positions 38, 39 and/or 40 in tRNA, reveals a dimeric protein that contains two positively ...

The paper is published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. Working with baker's yeast that initially contained none, they developed a new strain containing high levels of punicic ...

Laura Young, MD, is a board-certified OB-GYN. She currently works as a laborist. Yeast infections are not sexually transmitted infections (STIs), but it's possible to transmit one to a partner ...
