Fission yeast and budding yeast are free-living haploid cells that are easily grown in the laboratory. They have different cell shapes and patterns of division. Left, fission yeast; right ...

One of their favorite test subjects is the yeast species S. pombe, used for centuries in traditional brewing. As a eukaryote, ...

The Noguchi Lab works with mammalian cells and fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe). Fission yeast is an exceptional model system for studying cell cycle control and genome maintenance mechanisms ...

My laboratory conducts molecular genetic and chemical genetic research using the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Initially, we studied how extracellular glucose triggers repression of ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

pombe (Fowler et al. 2014) and mouse ... Interactions between chromosomes, dependent on ZMM proteins in yeast, feed back to inhibit Spo11. C. DSB formation is temporspatially coordinated with DNA ...

A genome-wide map of nucleosome positions in Schizosaccharomyces pombe points to a positioning mechanism different from that of other organisms. Philipp Korber from the University of Munich ...
