A group of scientists has replaced a natural chromosome in yeast with an artificial one. This wont only make a more useful yeast, but it also opens the door to redesigning the DNA of more complicated beasts like plants and animals (or us) and maybe even to resurrecting extinct species like the passenger pigeon. Find out more from our KQED Science community contributor Dr. Barry Starr of the The Tech Museum of Innovation. And mark your calendars for QUESTs upcoming half-hour episode, Reawakening Extinct Species, airing on Wednesday, April 23 at 7:30pm on KQED 9.
