In a paper published today in Cell, Penn researchers describe a new way to form an essential part of the artificial chromosome, called the centromere, by bypassing the biological requirements needed to form a natural one. Simply put, they biochemically delivered a protein called CENP-A directly to HAC DNA to simplify the building of a HAC in the lab.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2019-07-biochemists-method-human-artificial-chromosomes.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Biochemists streamline construction method for human artificial chromosomes<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the past 20 years, researchers have been trying to perfect the construction of human artificial chromosomes, or HACs for short.
