Yeast cells can be used to convert agricultural and forestry residues, as well as industrial byproducts, into valuable ...

Michael M. Desai, Professor of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology and of Physics, hopes to leverage the common fungus to ...

A basic business principle is that no worker is irreplaceable; that also holds true for most proteins, the cellular factory ...

Discover why yeast infections keep returning despite treatment. Learn five essential factors contributing to recurrent infections and effective prevention tips.

As Hartwell (who is still working with yeast) and his colleagues from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, Washington, have shown, the nature of the cell cycle checkpoint ...

Yeast cells aren’t normally magnetic, but a little genetic engineering can make them thralls to a magnetic field. The research, published today (February 28) in PLoS Biology, suggests that ...

In contrast, in the polluted containers, the ones containing lactic acid, he observed "much smaller cells than the yeast." Pasteur's finding showed that there are two types of fermentation ...

Recombinant yeast cells can be used as a vector to produce proteins that would normally be found in animals or plants. Recombinant yeast cells are used during DNA Recombinant technology as they ...

For your vaccine, you'll use genetic engineering techniques. Add the segment of DNA to the DNA of a yeast cell (which is in the yeast culture). A segment of the virus's DNA is responsible for the ...

A new method for mapping torsion provides insights into the ways that the genome responds to the torsion generated by RNA polymerase II.
