Gerton Lab determines the composition of centromeric chromatin
The Stowers Institute's Gerton Lab has provided new evidence to clarify the structure of nucleosomes containing Cse4, a centromere-specific histone protein required for proper kinetochore function, which plays a critical role in the process of mitosis. The work, conducted in yeast cells, was published in the most recent issue of Molecular Cell. view more (2009-09-29)
European project opens way for better understanding of human diseases
In the edition of Nature dated Thursday 21 February 2002, an international team of scientists report their analysis of the genome of fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe). The project, largely funded through a EUR6.9 million from the European Commission, is likely to have major implications for the future of cancer and other bio-medical... view more... (2002-02-20)
Zooming in on genetic shuffling
Genetic recombination, the process by which sexually reproducing organisms shuffle their genetic material when producing germ cells, leads to offspring with a new genetic make-up and influences the course of evolution. view more (2008-07-11)
St. Jude study yields secrets of chromosome movement
Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have used the lowly yeast to gain insights into how a dividing human cell ensures that an identical set of chromosomes gets passed on to each new daughter cell. view more (2007-06-18)
Using yeast to spot hidden genes and unravel the cause of genetic disorders
The yeast used by brewers and bakers is helping scientists discover hidden genes and unlock the secrets of inherited diseases in humans. With a large proportion of the 6,000 genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae coding for proteins with counterparts in humans, scientists can use the organism as a test-bed for developing new techniques and exploring... view more...

Rutgers researchers find fat gene
Rutgers researchers have identified a gene - and the molecular function of its protein product - that provides an important clue to further understanding obesity and may point the way to new drugs to control fat metabolism. view more (2006-03-21)
CSHL scientists discover new details of a gene-regulatory network governing metabolism
Metabolism is a central feature of life - a myriad of biochemical processes that, together, enable organisms to nourish and sustain themselves. Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) are in the forefront of efforts to demonstrate how the regulation of genes governs fundamental life processes, including metabolism. view more (2008-02-25)
New £6m biocentre to revolutionise the production of safer medicines
The University of Manchester has been awarded £6m to open a new biocentre which will revolutionise the way future medicines are produced - making them safer and more effective. view more (2005-03-14)
Virginia Tech's System X supercomputer provides super tool for simulation of cell division
Virginia Tech researchers in computer science and biology have used the university's supercomputer, System X, to create models and algorithms that make it possible to simulate the cell cycle — the processes leading to cell division. view more (2007-01-31)
Genetic 'tag team' keeps cells on cycle
By surveying the activity of thousands of genes at several different time points, researchers at the Duke Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy have uncovered new evidence that a network of influential genes act as a kind of genetic tag team to orchestrate one of the most fundamental aspects of all life: the cell cycle. view more (2008-05-08)
Vitamin A signals offer clues to treating autoimmunity
Distributed around the body, dendritic cells act as the security alarms of the immune system. After sensing the presence of intruders, dendritic cells can transmit the alarm to white blood cells or tell them to relax, depending on the signals they send out. view more (2009-03-02)
MIT: Engineered yeast speeds ethanol production
MIT scientists have engineered yeast that can improve the speed and efficiency of ethanol production, a key component to making biofuels a significant part of the U.S. energy supply. view more (2006-12-08)
The closest look ever at the cell's machines
Today researchers in Germany announce they have finished the first complete analysis of the "molecular machines" in one of biology's most important model organisms: S. cerevisiae (baker's yeast). view more (2006-01-23)
Biosensor sniffs out explosives
Temple University School of Medicine researchers have developed a new biosensor that sniffs out explosives and could one day be used to detect landmines and deadly agents, such as sarin gas, according to a paper in the June issue of Nature Chemical Biology. view more (2007-05-09)
UC Riverside Researchers Create First Synthetic Cellulosome in Yeast
A team of researchers led by University of California, Riverside (UCR) Professor of Chemical Engineering Wilfred Chen has constructed for the first time a synthetic cellulosome in yeast, which is much more ethanol-tolerant than the bacteria in which these structures are normally found. view more (2009-10-30)
How yeast is helping us to understand Parkinson's Disease
Teams of scientists from Australia and the United States have used yeast and mammalian cells to discover a connection between genetic and environmental causes of Parkinson's disease. view more (2009-02-27)
University of Kent signs licensing deal with Delta Biotechnology Limited
The University of Kent has recently concluded negotiations with Delta Biotechnology - a company with more than twenty years experience in the expression of heterologous proteins - to allow licensing of the technology covered by the University's patent process for increasing the production of disulphide bonded recombinant proteins from the baker's... view more...

Penn study finds way to prevent protein clumping characteristic of Parkinson's disease
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have identified a protein from a most unlikely source -- baker's yeast -- that might protect against Parkinson's disease. view more (2008-08-15)
Yale researchers make cell biology quantitative
Yale researchers have reported a method to count the absolute number of individual protein molecules inside a living cell, and to measure accurately where they are located, two basic hurdles for studying biology quantitatively. view more (2005-10-20)
Flies prefer fizzy drinks
While you may not catch a fly sipping Perrier, the insect has specialized taste cells for carbonated water that probably encourage it to binge on food with growing microorganisms. view more (2007-08-30)
