Primary studyYeast & synthetic biology
Construction and iterative redesign of synXVI a 903 kb synthetic Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome
Builds synthetic yeast chromosome XVI and documents design defects and repairs.
2025
Combines synthetic chromosomes and investigates interacting design defects.
Viability is strain- and condition-dependent.
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.
Builds synthetic yeast chromosome XVI and documents design defects and repairs.
Proposes an AI-driven virtual yeast linking biological data, models and experiments.
Tests human genes as replacements for essential yeast genes.
