Researchers from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed a method termed SCRaMbLE-based genome compaction (SGC) to revamp and minimize the yeast genome.
They showed that a synthetic chromosome arm (synXIIL) could be efficiently reduced by this method. Their study was published in Genome Biology on Jan 4.
Redundancy is a common feature of genomes, presumably to ensure robust growth under different and changing conditions. Genome compaction…
