This volume and its companion, Volume 350, are specifically designed to meet the needs of
graduate students and postdoctoral students as well as researchers, by providing all the up …

During the past few decades we have witnessed an era of remarkable growth in the field of
molecular biology. In 1950 very little was known of the chemical constitution of biological …

Understanding the biology of complex systems is facilitated by comparing them with simpler
organisms. Budding and fission yeasts provide ideal model systems for eukaryotic cell …

Publisher Summary The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is recognized as an ideal
eukaryotic microorganism for biological studies. Although yeasts have greater genetic …

Two reviews by the pioneers of yeast genetics, Lindegren (1) and Winge & Roberts (2),
cover the early literature and provide a full description of the life cycles of yeast. Since the …

Publisher Summary The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is now recognized as a model
system representing a simple eukaryote whose genome can be easily manipulated. Yeast …

In this essay, we revisit the status of yeast as a model system for biology. We first summarize
important contributions of yeast to eukaryotic biology that we anticipated in 1988 in our first …

Yeasts are particularly favorable organisms for the study of those as pects of molecular and
cell biology that distinguish eucaryotic from pro caryotic cells. Ample evidence exists as to …

The yeast genetics community has embraced genomic biology, and there is a general
understanding that obtaining a full encyclopedia of functions of the∼ 6000 genes is a …
