We describe complete design of a synthetic eukaryotic genome, Sc2.0, a highly modified
Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome reduced in size by nearly 8%, with 1.1 megabases of the …

Mutualisms, beneficial interactions between species, are expected to be unstable because
delivery of benefit likely involves fitness costs and selection should favour partners that …

Root, stem and leaf traits are thought to be functionally coordinated to maximize the efficiency
of acquiring and using limited resources. However, evidence is mixed for consistent whole‐…
