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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

The striking images, which thankfully do not need to be viewed using 3D glasses, are not just pretty pictures — they reveal the precise architectural plan of a Schizosaccharomyces pombe cell.
