  • Keeping Gen(i)e Drives in Their Lamps

    12/02/2015

    Everyone knows about genies. They have almost infinite power, can grant you three wishes, and are kept under control by the owner of their lamp. And as we saw in Disney’s Aladdin, it is a good thing that the lamp is around! When the evil sorcerer Jafar was given the powers of a genie, he began to take over the world. Until, that is, Aladdin forced him back into his lamp where he could be kept... Read...
  • Pulsating Yeast

    11/19/2015

    Sometimes when you get a minor injury, doctors will recommend alternating heat and cold as a therapy. The heat opens things up and the cold shuts them back down again. Now obviously it would be pretty useless to apply both at the same time. Adding a bit of lukewarm water to an injury is not going to be very helpful at all. The same thing holds true for many genes. If activators and repressors all turned on... Read...
  • Yeast, the Spam Filter

    11/11/2015

    Imagine what our email inboxes would look like if we didn't have spam filters! To find the meaningful emails, we’d have to wade through hundreds of messages about winning lottery tickets, discount medications, and other things that don’t interest us. When it comes to sorting out meaningful mutations from meaningless variation in human genes, it turns out that our friend S. cerevisiae makes a pretty good spam filter. And as more and more human genomic sequence... Read...
  • New SGD Help Video: Variant Viewer

    11/05/2015

    Using SGD’s Variant Viewer, you can compare the nucleotide and protein sequences of your favorite genes in twelve widely-used S. cerevisiae genomes. This tool shows alignments, similarity scores, and sequence variants for open reading frames (ORFs) from the different strains relative to the S288C reference genome. Sequence data are derived from Song et al., 2015. Take a look at our new video tutorial to get started with the Variant Viewer, and let us know if you... Read...
