Functional profiling of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome.

Guri Giaever, +72 more
- 25 Jul 2002 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that previously known and new genes are necessary for optimal growth under six well-studied conditions: high salt, sorbitol, galactose, pH 8, minimal medium and nystatin treatment, and less than 7% of genes that exhibit a significant increase in messenger RNA expression are also required for optimal Growth in four of the tested conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional Characterization of the S. cerevisiae Genome by Gene Deletion and Parallel Analysis

TL;DR: A total of 6925 Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains were constructed, by a high-throughput strategy, each with a precise deletion of one of 2026 ORFs (more than one-third of the ORFs in the genome), finding that 17 percent were essential for viability in rich medium.
Journal ArticleDOI

The complete DNA sequence of yeast chromosome III.

Stephen G. Oliver, +146 more
- 07 May 1992 - 
TL;DR: The entire DNA sequence of chromosome III of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been determined, which is the first complete sequence analysis of an entire chromosome from any organism.
Journal ArticleDOI

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the inositol polyphosphate kinase activity of Kcs1p is required for resistance to salt stress, cell wall integrity, and vacuolar morphogenesis.

TL;DR: The results show that diphosphoinositol polyphosphate synthase activity is essential for biogenesis of the yeast vacuole and the cell's responses to certain environmental stresses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of direct and indirect targets of the Gln3 and Gat1 activators by transcriptional profiling in response to nitrogen availability in the short and long term.

TL;DR: Repression of amino acid and nucleotide biosynthetic genes after a nitrogen shift did not depend on Gcn4 and several transporter genes were repressed as a consequence of enhanced levels of NCR-responsive permeases present at the plasma membrane.
