Yeast: An Attractive, Yet Simple Model
Gregory Smutzer | Sep 16, 2001 | 9 min read
Yeast possesses many characteristics that make it especially useful as a model system in the laboratory, including an entirely sequenced genome. Recently, a number of researchers published studies detailing the transition from genome sequencing to functional genomics. Notably, these scientists have developed new high-throughput approaches to the characterization of large numbers of yeast genes. In aggregate, these studies make yeast one of the most well-characterized eukaryotic organisms known.
Epigenetics and Society
Andrew D. Ellington | Mar 1, 2011 | 3 min read
By Andrew D. Ellington Epigenetics and Society Did Erasmus Darwin foreshadow the tweaking of his grandson’s paradigm? We can expect that epigenetics will be held up as the forerunner of that bastard child of Creationism, Intelligent Design. The potent wish in the productive hour Calls to its aid Imagination’s power, O’er embryon throngs with mystic charm presides, And sex from sex the nascent world divides… R

Large Fragment Cloning Products and Services Gone are the days when all you had to do to get out of grad school was identify and clone a new gene. Besides, with the information rapidly gathered through the Human Genome Project, there will soon no longer be a "new gene." Enormous projects such as sequencing entire genomes have created a need to play with bigger pieces of the puzzle, and a new universe of technologies adapted to large DNA fragments has appeared. Assignment of a new gene to a par

Available Two-hybrid Systems Graphic: Leza BerardoneGenome sequencing has produced a vast supply of proteins in need of a functional identity. One way to identify a protein's function is to identify its interacting partners, because proteins often work in pairs or as part of large complexes. Scientists traditionally have used biophysical or biochemical methods (such as affinity chromatography or co-immunoprecipitation) to study protein-protein interactions. More recently, two-hybrid and phage-d
The Alpha Project
Steve Bunk | Feb 23, 2003 | 7 min read
One day, genomic data will be translated into language that can be used to find new diagnostic and therapeutic targets for disease. Computers will mine DNA codes to build nanomachines, and "smart fabrics" will contain sensing capabilities modeled on living things. So says Shankar Shastry, chairman of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of California at Berkeley. "Bio is my bet on where the new set of glamour technologies will be," he predicts. But even the small step
