Bioinformatics has become an indispensable technology in molecular biology for genome
editing. In this review, we outline various bioinformatic techniques necessary for genome …

Microbial cell factories (MCFs) are extensively used to produce a wide array of bioproducts,
such as bioenergy, biochemical, food, nutrients, and pharmaceuticals, and have been …

Bottlenecks in the efficient conversion of xylose into cost-effective biofuels have limited the
widespread use of plant lignocellulose as a renewable feedstock. The yeast Saccharomyces …

Background Cost-effective production of biofuels from lignocellulose requires the
fermentation of d-xylose. Many yeast species within and closely related to the genera …

Ploidy is an evolutionarily labile trait, and its variation across the tree of life has profound
impacts on evolutionary trajectories and life histories. The immediate consequences and …

Metabolic engineering strategies have been successfully implemented to improve the
production of isobutanol, a next-generation biofuel, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here, we …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the dominant fermentative producer of ethanol in industry and
a preferred host for production of other biofuels. That said, rewiring the metabolism of S …

The excessive consumption of sugars can cause health issues. Different strategies have
been developed to reduce sugars in the diets. However, sugars in fruits and commercial …

Nucleic acid tests (NATs) are considered as gold standard in molecular diagnosis. To meet
the demand for onsite, point-of-care, specific and sensitive, trace and genotype detection of …

In vivo site-directed mutagenesis is a powerful genetic tool for testing the effects of specific
alleles in their normal genomic context. While the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae …
