  2. Saccharomyces Genome Database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharomyces_Genome_Database

    The Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD) is a scientific database of the molecular biology and genetics of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is commonly known as baker's or budding yeast. [1] Further information is located at the Yeastract curated repository.

  3. Saccharomyces cerevisiae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharomyces_cerevisiae

    The S. cerevisiae genome is composed of about 12,156,677 base pairs and 6,275 genes, compactly organized on 16 chromosomes. [55] Only about 5,800 of these genes are believed to be functional. It is estimated at least 31% of yeast genes have homologs in the human genome. [ 57 ]

  4. Baker's yeast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker's_yeast

    Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the yeast commonly used as baker's yeast. Gradation marks are 1 μm apart.. Baker yeast is the common name for the strains of yeast commonly used in baking bread and other bakery products, serving as a leavening agent which causes the bread to rise (expand and become lighter and softer) by converting the fermentable sugars present in the dough into carbon dioxide and ...

  5. Saccharomyces boulardii - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharomyces_boulardii

    Saccharomyces boulardii is a tropical yeast first isolated from lychee and mangosteen peels in 1923 by French scientist Henri Boulard.Although early reports claimed distinct taxonomic, metabolic, and genetic properties, [1] S. boulardii is a grouping of S. cerevisiae strains, all sharing a >99% genomic relatedness.

  6. Mating of yeast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mating_of_yeast

    In 2006, evolutionary geneticist Leonid Kruglyak found that S. cerevisiae matings only involve out-crossing between different strains roughly once every 50,000 cell divisions. The vast majority of yeast mating instead involves members of the same strain because mating type switching allows a single ascus to produce both mating types from a ...

  7. Saccharomyces cerevisiae virus L-A - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharomyces_cerevisiae...

    Replication cycle of L-A helper, shown at bottom, and M28 (K28) killer viruses in S. cerevisiae. Saccharomyces cerevisiae virus L-A, also called L-A helper virus, is a member of the Totiviridae family of viruses found primarily in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [3] Its discovery in the 1970s was the main starting point of research on yeast virology. [4]

  8. Genetic engineering techniques - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_engineering_techniques

    Genome editing uses artificially engineered nucleases that create specific double-stranded breaks at desired locations in the genome. The breaks are subject to cellular DNA repair processes that can be exploited for targeted gene knock-out, correction or insertion at high frequencies.

  9. Carboxypeptidase D - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxypeptidase_D

    Carboxypeptidase D can refer to one of several enzymes. A family of serine carboxypeptidases (i.e. enzymes that use an active site serine residue) includes (EC 3.4.16.6, cereal serine carboxypeptidase II, Saccharomyces cerevisiae KEX1 gene product, carboxypeptidase Kex1, gene KEX1 serine carboxypeptidase, KEX1 carboxypeptidase, KEX1 proteinase, KEX1DELTAp, CPDW-II, serine carboxypeptidase ...
