Project description:Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an excellent microorganism for industrial succinic acid production, but high succinic acid concentration will inhibit the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae then reduce the production of succinic acid. Through analysis the transcriptomic data of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with different genetic backgrounds under different succinic acid stress, we hope to find the response mechanism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to succinic acid.
Project description:A six array study using total gDNA recovered from two separate cultures of each of three different strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (YB-210 or CRB, Y389 or MUSH, and Y2209 or LEP) and two separate cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae DBY8268. Each array measures the hybridization of probes tiled across the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome.
Project description:Industrial bioethanol production may involve a low pH environment,improving the tolerance of S. cerevisiae to a low pH environment caused by inorganic acids may be of industrial importance to control bacterial contamination, increase ethanol yield and reduce production cost. Through analysis the transcriptomic data of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with different ploidy under low pH stress, we hope to find the tolerance mechanism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to low pH.
Project description:We report change in the nucleosome occupancy and accessibility upon deletion of ATP-dependent chromatin remodellers (ISW1, ISW2 & CHD1) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Project description:Investigation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae phosphate metabolism. Cells starved for phosphate, cells grown with intermediate and high phosphate concentrations, and PHO4 mutant cells examined. Keywords: other
Project description:Genome-scale CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) is widely utilized to study cellular processes in a variety of organisms. To date, a genome-wide CRISPRi library, optimized for targeting the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome, has not been presented. Here, we have generated a comprehensive, inducible CRISPRi library, based on spacer design rules optimized for yeast. We have validated this library for genome-wide interrogation of gene function across a variety of applications, including accurate discovery of haploinsufficient genes and identification of enzymatic and regulatory genes involved in adenine and arginine biosynthesis. The comprehensive nature of the library also revealed refined spacer design parameters for transcriptional repression, including location, nucleosome occupancy and nucleotide features. CRISPRi screens using this library can identify genes and pathways with high precision and low false discovery rate across a variety of experimental conditions, enabling rapid and reliable genome-wide assessment of genetic function and interactions in S. cerevisiae.
Project description:The goal of these experiments was to define the targets of Ty3 transposition in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Ty3 is a retroviruslike element that is found at the transcription initiation site of chromosomal tRNA genes.
