How Baker’s Yeast Powers Lab Research

Description

Saccharomyces cerevisiae, or baker’s yeast, is a single-celled eukaryote used widely in scientific research. It is a valuable model organism because its genome has been sequenced, its genetics are easy to manipulate, and it is simple to maintain in the lab.

Scientists also use yeast because many ...

Transcript

Saccharomyces cerevisiae, otherwise known as baker’s yeast, is one of the many model organisms studied in laboratories all over the world. Because it’s genome has been sequenced, its genetics are easily manipulated, and it is easy to maintain in the lab, this species of yeast has been an invaluable resour...
