Rhythmic Genomics - The Yeast Metronome And The Walk Of Life
Tuesday, April 7, 2009 - 09:21
in Biology & Nature
New genome sequence information from the humble baker’s yeast has revealed surprising variation in a set of genes that can be thought of as nature’s oldest clock. Scientists have shown how ribosomal RNA genes that are essential to all Earth's organisms provide insight into how genomes maintain their integrity on their evolutionary journey.
