Compatibility rules of human enhancer and promoter sequences
A new high-throughput assay applied to 1,000 enhancers and 1,000 promoters in human cells reveals how different classes of enhancers and promoters control RNA expression.

Karyotype engineering by chromosome fusion leads to reproductive isolation in yeast
Yeast chromosomes have been fused to produce viable strains with only two chromosomes that are reproductively isolated from the sixteen-chromosome wild type, but otherwise show high fitness in mitosis and meiosis.

In vivo genome editing using a high-efficiency TALEN system
Although zebrafish is an important animal model for basic vertebrate biology and human disease modelling, rapid targeted genome modification has not been possible in this species; here a technique based on improved artificial transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) allows precise sequence modifications at pre-determined genomic locations.

The next step for the synthetic genome
Biologists have copied an existing genetic code, but haven't yet commercialized it or written their own. What will it take for a tour de force to reach industrial force?
