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 ...

The authors fused candidate kinetochore proteins to yellow or cyan fluorescent protein (YFP or CFP), made a diploid yeast strain containing both fusions, and then had those cells undergo meiosis ...

Being able to track fluorescently tagged proteins as they move about in response to genetic changes or drugs will help reveal clues to disease. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible ...

Ribosomes are the cell's heavyweight molecular machinery that produces proteins. It turned out, however, that in hungry yeast ...

Recombinant yeast cells can be used as a vector to produce proteins that would normally be found in animals or plants. Recombinant yeast cells are used during DNA Recombinant technology as they ...

Yeast cells can be used to convert agricultural and forestry residues, as well as industrial byproducts, into valuable bioproducts. New and unexplored yeast strains may have properties that can ...

Yeast is used to make alcoholic drinks. When yeast cells are reproducing rapidly during beer or wine production, the oxygen is used up. The yeast has to switch to using anaerobic respiration to ...
