One Yeast, Sixteen Synthetic Chromosomes, Infinite Possibilities
ABSTRACT The evolution of the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, from a genetically tractable model organism to a chassis for genome‐scale engineering represents one of the most influential trajectories in eukaryotic biology. The Synthetic Yeast Genome Project (Sc2.0) embodies the current height of this trajectory, having now delivered functional ...

Molecular Tools for Typing Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Mycoplasma genitalium
Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Mycoplasma genitalium are cell wall-less bacteria with strongly reduced genome content and close phylogenetic relatedness. In humans, the only known natural host, the microorganisms colonize the respiratory or genitourinary mucosa and may cause a broad range of clinical presentations.
