Scientists have given yeast a brand new ability – gaining energy from light. The technique was remarkably easy, the team says, and could not only help us understand evolution but make better beer and ...

As a student in William & Mary’s biology master’s program, Keegan Sweeney ‘26 is fascinated with the translational aspect of research — how studying organisms such as yeast can improve our ...

There is a new, U.S.-based, environmentally friendly method for mining rare-earth elements used in consumer electronics, ...

Researchers have long theorized that the evolution of complex life forms began when one cell engulfed another and the two formed a single entity. In a new study “Engineering artificial photosynthetic ...

Kinesin proteins eat away at microtubules, shortening them and pulling chromosomes to opposite spindle poles during cell division in most organisms. However, fission yeast lacks these proteins, and ...

Scientists have created new artificial microbes by combining two very different organisms into one functioning entity. The hybrid of a yeast and a bacterium adds evidence to a long-standing hypothesis ...

A team of Scientists has completed construction of a synthetic chromosome as part of a major international project to build the world's first synthetic yeast genome. The work represents completion of ...

An international team of researchers has modified a probiotic yeast to make it safer for use by immunocompromised people, older adults and infants. Testing in an animal model found that the modified ...
