Yeast

Yeast is a major model organism in life sciences. Various experimental methods and research resources have been developed for yeast for genetic, biochemical, and molecular biology studies, including recombinant DNA technology. Yeast research has contributed to our understanding of many molecular mechanisms important for life, including those involved in the cell cycle and autophagy. Because of the availability of a comprehensive range of genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and other-omic information, yeast research is expected to play a leading role in post-genome research.
