Our last Boston Area Yeast Meetings of the season will be on Thursday May 15th (at the Broad Institute) and Thursday June 12th (at Harvard). We need speakers for both these dates. If you’ve been considering giving a talk this season, now’s your chance! Please also ask colleagues if they would be interested in giving an informal 30 minute talk. Make sure to mention free dinner and drinks!

Yeast Two Hybrid Library (0 replies)

Daniel J. Cipriano — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 21:53:47 -0000

Does anybody have, or know somebody who has a good yeast two-hybrid library? I’m in need of a good cDNA, genomic, or ORF library of the cerevisiae genome that can be used for a two hybrid screen.

If you can help me out, please email me

Thank you

A mini-review I found very interesting. There is still much to learn about phenotypic variations and cell-cell communication from our little friend.

Why yeast cells can undergo apoptosis: death in times of peace, love, and war.

Any dark side of GFP in yeast? (1 reply)

Chia-Yung Wu — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 20:27:36 -0000

I recently read a PLoS One article reporting that over-expression of GFP in higher eukaryotes may cause a number of side effects, one of which is defective polyubiquitylation. This defect depends on the peptide sequence of GFP. Has anybody noticed side effects of GFP expression in yeast?
