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 ...

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 ...

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

pombe (Fowler et al. 2014) and mouse.(Lange et al. 2016; Yamada et al. 2017). Network of circuits controlling DSB formation — A. DSBs made by Spo11 activate ATM/Tel1, which inhibits further DSB ...

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 ...

Dr. Irmgard Sinning used the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, a model organism frequently used in cell biology. Using molecular markers, defective spliceosomes were identified, purified ...

To investigate what happens when yeast cells anticipate a shortage of ... in Japan studied the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Previous research by the RIKEN team had identified specific ...

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 ...
