• Yeast Biology

In order to gain some useful knowledge about S. cerevisiae as a model organism, we decided to periodically study a chapter from the page bellow:

• http://biochemie.web.med.uni-muenchen.de/Yeast_Biol/

The chapters selected from study were:

• 3 Yeast Metabolism
  5 The Yeast Genome
  10 Yeast Growth and Cell Cycle
  12 Gene Expression in Yeast
  

  • Fundamentals about the yeast’s biology

  13 Signaling and Regulatory Circuits in Yeast

  • More advanced cell & molecular biology, related to current hot topics in systems biology

  4 Yeast Molecular Techniques

  • Fundamentals about the manipulation in the lab

Forthcoming Homework

The next session for our Journal Club on Yeast is planned for

• FRIDAY 26th of October, 11.30am,

and will cover chapter 10 of the manual:

• 10 Yeast Growth and Cell Cycle
• 10.1 Vegetative Reproduction in Yeast
• 10.2 The Yeast Cell Cycle
• 10.3 Sexual Reproduction
