Abstract The cross-species delivery of megabase-scale synthetic DNA molecules, from microorganisms into mammalian cells, remains a major challenge for synthetic genomics. Recently, we developed nucleus isolation for chromosome extraction (NICE), a method that enables the isolation of yeast nuclei containing intact synthetic megabase-scale DNA with preserved chromatin structure.

Engineering budding yeast for the de novo synthesis of valuable flavanone derivatives† Flavonoids, such as homoeriodictyol derivatives, hold significant value in nutraceuticals, foods, and pharmaceuticals. Microbial synthesis of these products has emerged as a powerful approach due to its sustainability and environmental friendliness.
