Synmoss, towards the first plant with an artificial genome
The SynMoss project aims to develop a plant with a fully synthetic genome in the next 10 years, revolutionizing plant biotechnology.

The newly mapped dog epigenome reveals similarities to our own, and offers us new insights into diseases and treatments, whether two-legged or four-legged.
The human pangenome will be the genetic key to deciphering the causes of diseases and finding more effective treatments.
Deep learning allows scientists to “comb through” the human genome, and leads to the discovery of a third ancestor in addition to Neanderthals and Denisovans. Who is?
The red-hot ash that devastated Pompeii almost 2.000 years ago killed the inhabitants, but it also preserved many things: even their DNA.
Decades to get there, then finally in 2001 the sequencing of the human genome. Was it complete? No. Today, finally a complete sequence. Maybe.
20 years after the unveiling of the human genome, science can now sequence many more in less time: it will soon have the data it needs to unlock many secrets of genetics.
We have seen GAN generate faces, fake biographies, songs. Now they also generate artificial genomes, mostly indistinguishable from the real one.
The Y chromosome shrinks: from 900 to 55 genes: at these rates, in 11 million years humanity will change completely (if it has not become extinct).
Microalgae genetically modified to produce more oils: at Algaefarm we talk about this promising source of biofuels.
France may soon adopt newborn genomic screening, revealing hundreds of rare diseases from birth.
A 15-year project culminates in the creation of yeast strains with more than half of their DNA synthesized in the laboratory
New research shows that controlling a particular type of genes could be the key to slowing aging.
