Preface The unicellular organism has facilitated our understanding of cellular mechanisms in higher eukaryotes for years. The prokaryote, Escherichia coli, has served as a model organism in the genetic engineering laboratory due to the inexpensive means to grow it and its fast generation time. E. coli serves as an excellent host for the production of proteins, bacteriophage infection, and the use of conjugation to study antibiotic resistance. The rise of more genetic diseases in higher eukaryotes has forced the research community to adopt yet another model organism. Schizosaccharomyces pombe (fission yeas
