The genomic diversity of eukaryotic microorganisms has not yet been fully investigated but, as reviewed in this month's column, this is beginning to change. Our view of what a typical eukaryotic ...

Even fairly deep sequencing of randomly selected cDNA clones fails to elucidate the structures of the 20–40% of genes in a typical eukaryotic genome that are expressed only at low levels or ...

For the first time ever, a synthetic eukaryotic genome has been created. By taking yeast cells and rebuilding their genomes, scientists were able to create a yeast that more resilient and produced ...
