The Open Yeast Collection is a foundational and enabling framework for contributing to the creation of an open, sustainable and equitable bioeconomy. More specifically the Open Yeast Collection permits the building of modular plasmids using Golden Gate Assembly from free, reusable and redistributable genetic parts with the goal of genetically modifying Saccharomyces cerevisiae or for the production of heterologous proteins such as enzymes in Pichia pastoris (Komagataella pastoris). The plasmids can be used for basic education, research or for building multi-enzyme metabolic pathways to create a wide variety of natural/commodity chemicals or fine and specialized chemicals such as pharmaceuticals. The Open Yeast Collection is distributed by the BioBricks Foundation and has been included in the 2022 iGEM Distribution.
In this webinar you will learn what the Open Yeast Collection is and how to work with it to accomplish your goals. You will learn what the collection provides and what you have to bring to the table to create solutions to your goals. Many of the concepts in this webinar also apply to working with the Open Bioeconomy Lab’s Open Enzyme Collection, Open Reporters and E. coli Protein Expression Kit, also included in the 2022 iGEM Distribution. This webinar is suitable for all participants in the iGEM competition.
