It also shows that budding yeast, the geneticists' darling organism, can be a valuable model for studying the establishment of cellular lineages and asymmetric cell division in adult stem cells.

YEAST CELLS — Brewing yeast cells are seen under a microscope as part of a study on nonalcoholic beer. Credit must be given to the creator. Only noncommercial uses of the work are permitted.

In each cell division cycle, chromosomes are replicated once (DNA synthesis or S-phase) and segregated to create two genetically identical daughter cells (mitosis or M-phase). These events are ...

This study produced a unique dataset that offers a genome-scale view of molecular changes that occur during cell division." "The yeast cell is a great model for eukaryotic biology," said Litsios.

In a breakthrough that could shed light on the inner workings of human cells and advance the understanding of rare genetic ...

A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine provides insights into how cells maintain the tiny end caps of chromosomes as they divide, a key process in keeping cells healthy.

Mumbai: A team of researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT-B) has shed light on how a seemingly useless piece of DNA manages to outsmart yeast cells and ensure its survival ...
