Journal ArticleDOI

The future of model organisms in human disease research

TL;DR: The direct discovery of disease genes and variants in humans has been revolutionized, first by genome-wide association studies and now by whole-genome sequencing, and it is now much easier to directly identify potential disease genes in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Putting genetic interactions in context through a global modular decomposition

TL;DR: A data mining approach was developed to exhaustively discover all block structures within Saccharomyces cerevisiae's genetic interaction network, which allowed for its complete modular decomposition and revealed the importance of the context of individual genetic interactions in their interpretation and revealed distinct trends among genetic interaction hubs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plant-derived antifungal agent poacic acid targets β-1,3-glucan

TL;DR: The discovery of poacic acid as a natural antifungal agent targeting β-1,3-glucan highlights the potential side use of products generated in the processing of renewable biomass toward biofuels as a source of valuable bioactive compounds and further clarifies the nature and mechanism of fermentation inhibitors found in lignocellulosic hydrolysates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional wiring of the yeast kinome revealed by global analysis of genetic network motifs

TL;DR: This study provides a valuable resource to unravel novel functional relationships and pathways regulated by kinases and outlines a general strategy for deciphering mutant phenotypes from large-scale GI networks.
