A procedure that allows accurate measurement of the levels of over 99% of the proteins generated by different strains of fission yeast could open the way for new laboratory applications of the species. Researchers should now be able to determine the direct impact of environmental change, life-cycle stage, and gene mutations, deletions and activity on this model organism.
