Abstract:
The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an outstanding experimental model organism that has been exploited since the early part of the twentieth century for studies in biochemistry and genetics. It has been the premiere experimental system for modern functional genomics and continues to make important contributions to many areas of biology. Here we discuss its many virtues as an organism for classical genetic research.
