Synthetic yeast from 2.0 to 3.0

2017-11-09

The Synthetic Yeast Genome Project (Sc2.0) is the world’s first synthetic eukaryotic genome project that aims to create a novel, rationalized version of the genome of the yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The famous quote from the physicist Richard Feynman "What I cannot create, I do not understand" demonstrates well that the ultimate understanding of the nature will lead to the ability...

Epigenetics

2017-11-09

In the past decades, histones, once considered by many as “The World‘s Most Boring Protein” has rejuvenated, thanking for the discovery of various covalent modifications. A “histone code” was hypothesized that specific pattern of modifications on histones can be read and written as a code by protein executors to carry out specific biological function. In addition to the individual and...
