A spotlight on global collaboration in the Sc2.0 yeast consortium.

The Synthetic Yeast Genome Project (Sc2.0) is an international collaboration that aims to create and optimize synthetic versions of each chromosome, with the ultimate goal of assembling a yeast organism with a synthetic with design features facilitating applications in synthetic biology and engineering projects. The consortium research groups are global, and, here, we highlight the work of the China-based Sc2.
