A genome-wide map of nucleosome positions in Schizosaccharomyces pombe points to a positioning mechanism different from that of other organisms. Philipp Korber from the University of Munich ...

Fission yeast and budding yeast are free-living haploid cells that are easily grown in the laboratory. They have different cell shapes and patterns of division. Left, fission yeast; right ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed ...

One of their favorite test subjects is the yeast species S. pombe, used for centuries in traditional brewing. As a eukaryote, ...

pombe (Fowler et al. 2014) and mouse.(Lange et al. 2016; Yamada et al. 2017). Network of circuits controlling DSB formation — A. DSBs made by Spo11 activate ATM/Tel1, which inhibits further DSB ...

My laboratory conducts molecular genetic and chemical genetic research using the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Initially, we studied how extracellular glucose triggers repression of ...

To investigate what happens when yeast cells anticipate a shortage of ... in Japan studied the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Previous research by the RIKEN team had identified specific ...

Structure of the yeast 12-subunit nuclear exosome We pioneered methods to reconstitute eukaryotic ... we reconstituted fourteen-subunit Mtr4-containing RNA exosomes from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, ...

The Noguchi Lab works with mammalian cells and fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe). Fission yeast is an exceptional model system for studying cell cycle control and genome maintenance mechanisms ...
