The budding index of Saccharomyces cerevisiae deletion strains identifies genes important for cell cycle progression.
Budding marks initiation of cell division in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Consequently, cell cycle progression can be monitored by the fraction of budded cells (budding index) in a proliferating cell population. We determined the budding index of a large collection of deletion strains, to systematically identify genes involved in cell cycle progression.
