The Yeast Nucleus

This book is concerned with the various nuclear activities of two yeasts: Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Both are excellent models for higher eukaryotes, including humans.

One of the major insights into biology over the past decade is that there is far more unity than diversity in the molecular bases of fundamental cellular processes.This book is about cellular systems rather than individual genes or gene products so that it not only provides a review of the chosen topics, but provokes thought about the similarities and differences between the two yeasts and whether parallel mecahnisms might operate in other eukaryotic
cells
