What this contributes
Curated yeast genes, pathways, literature and analysis tools.
The boundary of the evidence
Reference annotations do not validate a proposed memorial culture.
Why it belongs here
Humanized yeast and synthetic chromosomes show that cells can be engineered to carry selected sequences and perform specific functions. These studies give the Culture a research context. They do not demonstrate the proposed memorial product, complete body conversion or the preservation of a person.
