Abstract

The international Synthetic Yeast Project (Sc2.0) aims to construct the first synthetic designer eukaryote genome. Over the past few years, the Sc2.0 consortium has achieved several significant milestones by synthesizing and characterizing all 16 nuclear chromosomes of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as well as a 17th de novo neochromosome containing all nuclear tRNA genes. In this commentary, we discuss the recent technological advances achieved in this project and provide a perspective on how they will impact the emerging field of synthetic genomics in the future.
