Fission yeast and budding yeast are free-living haploid cells that are easily grown in the laboratory. They have different cell shapes and patterns of division. Left, fission yeast; right ...

Using fermentation, University of Alberta researchers have come up with a way to produce higher amounts of a healthy fatty acid found mainly in pomegranates. The paper is published in the Journal of ...

We have reconstituted this process with purified proteins from the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which has allowed us to define mechanisms involved in origin site selection, origin ...

Scientists have completed construction of the final chromosome in the worlds' first synthetic yeast genome following more than a decade of work, opening new possibilities for creating resilient, ...

By applying this mapping methodology to wild-type and mutant yeast strains, we are gaining a detailed ... Meiotic recombination initiation in and around retrotransposable elements in Saccharomyces ...
