The findings advance our understanding of how genes are regulated in fission yeast but could also ... and Michael Stadler from the Computational Biology platform to analyze it.

Lurking within the genomes of nearly all species—including plants, fungi, and even humans—are genes that are passed from generation to generation with no clear benefit to the organism. Called "selfish ...

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, budding ...
