Façonner la vie : des génomes synthétiques aux cellules artificielles, certains biologistes veulent réaliser ce vieux rêve de ...

By doubling their entire genome, organisms can evolve extremely rapidly — or they can lose it all. New studies reveal how to ...

A Firenze oggi si ritrovano scienziati e giovani ricercatori da tutto il mondo per ciò che avvenne nel 1996, quando il ...

Universal flu vaccine research from the University of Michigan shows baker's yeast-produced M2 virus-like particles ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a process to manufacture flu vaccines in baker's yeast.

The world mostly relies on an 80-year-old method for producing flu vaccines from chicken eggs - a slow, costly process that ...

AlphaGenome is a leap forward in the ability to study the human blueprint. But the fine workings of our DNA are still largely a mystery. By Carl Zimmer In 2024, two scientists from Google DeepMind ...

Mating-type switching evolved multiple times in yeasts, enabling haploid selfing, which became a key feature of their sexual life cycles. We show that this trait has been lost repeatedly in the ...

Université de Strasbourg and partners report that adding structural variants and small insertion–deletion mutations to single-nucleotide polymorphism analyses raised trait heritability estimates by 14 ...

Almost-complete genomes of more than 1,000 strains of the single-celled yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been assembled and integrated with phenotypic (trait) measures of growth and of RNA ...

The discovery of CRISPR-Cas9’s gene-editing prowess revolutionized genetic engineering just over a decade ago. Now it appears that genetic engineering technology may be taking its next big leap.

Brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is a cornerstone of industrial biotechnology. Its exceptional adaptability to diverse natural and industrial environments has led to the emergence of a wide ...
