Sometimes, the most significant scientific discoveries happen by accident. Scientists have long known that whole-genome ...

Figure 1: Network visualization of chromosome maintenance and duplication machinery in baker's yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In Figure 1, yeast proteins involved in chromosome maintenance and ...

In yeast, however, binding of Rad51 to ssDNA ... An alternate hypothesis proposes that homologous chromosomes reside in pairs constitutively. Acting against this hypothesis is the finding that ...

B. Interactions between chromosomes, dependent on ZMM proteins in yeast, feed back to inhibit Spo11. C. DSB formation is temporspatially coordinated with DNA replication. D. Activation of Ndt80 ...

Scientists have engineered a chromosome entirely from scratch that will contribute to the production of the world’s first synthetic yeast. Researchers in the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB ...

Instead of the linear chromosomes found in mammals, the team crafted a circular chromosome, which is compatible with DNA replication in yeast. They then assembled the HAC inside budding yeast. By ...

The new capability of stably assembling centromeric nucleosomes—DNA wrapped around proteins at the ‘spring site’ of the chromosome ‘clothespin ... Stable centromere association of the yeast histone ...

Researchers have generated a full-length clone of the novel coronavirus genome using artificial chromosomes in brewers’ yeast, according to a paper published in Nature on Monday (May 4). While other ...

Bozdag observed the yeast when it was 1,000 days old and saw characteristics suggesting it might have gone from diploidy (having two sets of chromosomes) to tetraploidy (having four). Decades of ...
