Discovery Projects
Grant Activity:
Sculpting a masterpiece: synthesis and evolution of minimal yeast genomes
Purpose:
This project aims to better understand genome complexity by engineering minimal yeast genomes that have fewer genes, and are therefore easier to characterise and engineer. Yeast is a model organism and industrial food, fuel, and chemical producer. This project expects to increase our basic understanding of yeast genomes, and develop new tools for engineering whole genomes. Expected outcomes of this project include the engineering and characterisation of the world's first minimal yeast genome, and the development of novel industrial yeast strains. This will provide significant benefits for both fundamental genetics and biochemistry research, and the industrial use of yeast for bio-manufacturing of sustainable foods, fuels, and chemicals.
