A basic business principle is that no worker is irreplaceable; that also holds true for most proteins, the cellular factory workers of our bodies. If we fire a protein—that is, permanently delete it ...

He prepared cell-free extracts by carefully grinding yeast cells with a pestle and mortar. The resulting moist mixture was put through a press to obtain a "juice" to which sugar was added.

As Hartwell (who is still working with yeast) and his colleagues from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington, have shown, the nature of the cell cycle checkpoint ...

Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we mapped thousands of expression quantitative trait loci in yeast, including a variant in GPA1 that influences gene expression, cell-cycle occupancy, and mating ...

Researchers have installed "strike machines" in yeast colonies, which could reveal the exact role of the striking protein.

It forms part of a wider project (Sc2.0) that has now successfully synthesised all 16 native chromosomes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, common baker’s yeast, and aims to combine them to form a fully ...

Gene regulation underpins nearly every biological process—from cell development to responses to environmental changes, and understanding it can provide insights into cancer and other diseases.

Cell structure Function Cytoplasm Where enzymes ... Contains enzymes for the reactions in aerobic respiration (in animals, plants and yeast).

Weizmann Institute researchers forced thousands of yeast proteins to go on a surprise strike – and uncovered their previously unknown roles in some of life’s most basic processes ...
