Synthetic Yeast Could Lead to Cheaper Stronger Beer

From the Telegraph:
British researchers are helping to create “designer” genomes that can be inserted into yeast cells to create new strains of these organisms.
They hope these man-made forms of life could eventually be used by the brewing industry to make cheaper – and stronger – beer.
The international project adds to work to create the first ever synthetic life form, by building a bacterium genome from scratch.
