Researchers have successfully built an artificial chromosome for a yeast cell, the first time a synthetic chromosome has been introduced into a eukaryotic organism.
By rebuilding yeast chromosome III (which has 316,617 base pairs), a team of researchers has managed to create the very first synthetic eukaryotic chromosome.

Their findings appear in a paper titled "Total Synthesis of a Functional Designer Eukaryotic Chromosome," published in Science on March 27.
