Think yeast just belongs in the kitchen ... and he is still a leader in the field of cancer genetic research. The first in his family to attend college and driven, in part, by a desire to ...

Consequently, there is a lag in the development of genetic switches for these organisms. Even though yeast is a model eukaryotic organism, attempts to engineer the functions of its cells have ...

From that point forward, resolution proceeds as in the single-stranded model (Figure 3). (Note that a third model ... strand needed for invasion. In yeast, however, binding of Rad51 to ssDNA ...

Deep within the cells of mice, a genetic arms race is unfolding between X and Y chromosome genes, battling for dominance in sperm. Researchers have now discovered how these gene families compete by ...

Now, FMI researchers have made significant progress in uncovering how transcription factors—proteins that control gene expression—work in fission yeast, a key model organism for studying gene ...

Yet this genetic similarity is very real ... that a human gene could be inserted into the cells of a lowly yeast -- and it functioned perfectly well. In this landmark experiment, researchers ...
