title: New genome-wide methods bring more power to yeast as a model organism.
abstract: Recent developments in genetic research using Saccharomyces cerevisiae have provided rapid new methods for identifying the genes that control cellular responses to treatment with a wide variety of agents, including chemicals and radiation. This significantly increases the power of yeast as a model system for studying human cellular responses to these agents, and for identifying human genes that are important in DNA repair and cancer.
