The tomato, which is still in development, is modified with a yeast gene that slows the ripening process, allowing more time for lycopene to accumulate.
Furthermore, disruption of the yeast gene has been shown to result in mitochondrial dysfunction.
In the process of this analysis, we identified previously unrecognized similarities in the expression of yeast genes and uncovered correlations between the environmental conditions.
Many additional yeast genes have significant membership in more than one of the fuzzy clusters.
Z-DNA binding protein 1, also known as Zuotin, is a yeast gene.
The researchers were trying to remove a number of specific yeast genes from a number of different chromosomes by excising small chunks of DNA.
But there are two yeast genes for mismatch repair.
Now, the sequence of all 12 million nucleotides, encompassing the 6,000 yeast genes, has been deposited.
She then exposed this strain to extra copies of 3,000 yeast genes, finding some genes that helped the cells and some that made them worse.
The name Sir2 comes from the yeast gene 'ilent mating-type nformation egulation ', the gene responsible for cellular regulation in yeast.
