Yeast Functional Genomics and Proteomics Methods and Protocols

Given the popularity and utility of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, yeast-based functional genomics and proteomics technologies, developed over the past decade, have contributed greatly to our understanding of bacterial, yeast, fly, worm and human gene function

Preface Often defined as “the unicellular human” and “everybody’s favorite fungus,” the baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has long been considered one of the most highly studied model organisms in the study of basic cellular processes. Along with this notion, yeastbased functional genomics and proteomics technologies, developed over the past decade, have contributed greatly to our understanding of bacterial, yeast, fly, worm, and human gene functions. More than 1,000 different papers and hundreds of reviews dealing with functional genomics and proteomics in yeast have appeared, but no comprehensive yeastbased functional genomics and proteomics textbook has yet been written and published. This book aims to be the standard tex
