This study develops underground biosensors using fungal-bacterial networks to propagate synthetic genetic signals through soil.

This paper enables combinatorial metabolic engineering in Debaryomyces hansenii by developing genetic parts and integration loci, resulting in a high titer of heptadecane production.

This paper develops a modular genetic part library for Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous using transcriptomics and genomics, identifying 26 promoters and revealing light-responsive regulatory mechanisms.

The paper systematically evaluates the transferability of synthetic biology parts across multiple bacterial hosts and identifies host-specific variations in gene expression.

The paper introduces Prymetime, a workflow for accurate whole genome sequencing of engineered yeasts, showing it can assemble and annotate synthetic parts and detect unintended modifications.
