An inside look at a small cell. Yeast Cell Biology sponsored by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, NY, USA, August 13-18, 1991.
It should be apparent from this review that new genes important for cell function are rapidly being discovered in yeast. In the not too distant future, the sequence of the yeast genome will provide us with a list of all of the proteins needed to make a cell. The challenge will then be to continue to develop biochemical and genetic approaches to uncover the function of these proteins. Clearly, yeast is going to play a major role in the future of cell biology and the power of this small eukaryote is just beginning to be tapped.
