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 ...

The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the most important model organisms used in ageing-related research. In comparison with other systems, the relative ease and rapidity with which ...

They reproduce through a process called budding, in which a “mother cell ... “Humans domesticated Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but there are so many different species of yeast in the world. Sourdoughs ...

FINDINGS: Some budding yeast species have the ability to silence genes using RNA interference (RNAi). Until now, most researchers thought that no budding yeasts possess the RNAi pathway because ...

Researchers have characterized how the essential mRNA poly(A) tails are synthesized in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The study reveals several mechanisms controlling poly(A ...

So why did cells start sticking together? John Koschwanez at Harvard University and colleagues say that budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) may show the answer. Yeast is a single-celled ...

Researchers find mutations causing developmental disabilities in humans have similar effects in yeast, aiding drug testing ...

For thousands of years brewers made beer using specialized strains of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A new study shows that modern brewing strains were derived from a mixture of ...
