Just like the chicken or milk you buy at a store, chromosomes have a shelf life too. Of course, chromosomes dont spoil because of growing bacteria. Instead, they go bad because they lose a little of the telomeres at their ends each time they are copied. Once these telomeres get too short, the chromosome stops working and the cell dies. Turns out food and chromosomes have another thing in commonthe rates of spoilage of both can...read more > <\/p>\n

The most interesting board games cant be played right out of the box. You can admire the board and the game pieces, but before the fun can begin you need to spend some time reading the instructions and understanding the strategy. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations are a little bit like that. You can get interesting information very quickly by just reading the GO terms on the Locus Summary page of your favorite yeast protein in SGD....read more > <\/p>\n

Our friend Saccharomyces cerevisiae has it pretty easy when it comes to sex. There is no club scene or online dating. Pretty much if an a and an are close enough together, odds are that they will shmoo towards each other and fuse to create a diploid cell. No fuss, no muss. Of course there arent any visual cues that indicate whether a yeast is aor . Instead yeast relies on detecting gender-specific pheromones each cell...read more > <\/p>\n
