Researchers from Macquarie University in Australia have assembled the final chromosome in a synthetic yeast.

This is the first time a synthetic eukaryotic genome has been constructed in full.

It follows the successes of recreating life with simpler bacteria organisms and is a proof of concept that we could create synthetic life in the form of more complex organisms.
