The researchers built the artificial chromosome from scratch by
stitching synthetic strands of DNA together in a sequence based on the
known genome of brewer’s yeast. They predict that a completely synthetic
yeast genome comprised of its entire complement of 16 chromosomes could
be made within four years.
“Our research moves the needle in synthetic biology from theory to reality. This work represents the biggest step yet in an international effort to construct the full genome of synthetic yeast,” said Jef Boeke of the New York University School of Medicine, a lead author of the study published in the journal Science.
