  • The Benefits of Sex

    03/03/2016

    While you doggedly swipe right and left or wait night after night at that club, you may be wondering whether it is all worth it. Biologists have been wondering something similar. Now they haven’t been wondering about the value of sex…since everything from amoebas to zebras has sex, it must be pretty important. No, the hard part has been figuring out why it is so beneficial. On balance it can seem that the minuses of disease risk... Read...
  • Join SGD at The Allied Genetics Conference

    02/29/2016

    SGD will be attending The Allied Genetics Conference (TAGC) in Orlando, Florida, July 13–17, 2016! For the first time ever, the meetings of the yeast, C. elegans, ciliate, Drosophila, mouse, and zebrafish model organism communities will be united under one roof, along with a new meeting on population, evolutionary, and quantitative genetics. Submit your abstracts now! Abstract submission will be open until March 23, 2016. If you want GREAT science and access to the leaders of... Read...
  • Not Quite The Same

    02/24/2016

    Imagine a world where you either make your own bread from scratch or have it delivered to your doorstep. Not much of a difference, right? Either way you’re eating bread. Except of course that the two are pretty different. Having your bread delivered frees up time to do other things. It turns out that something similar may be going on in our old friend, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. According to a new study in Nature Microbiology by Alam... Read...
  • Unlocking Chromatin

    02/10/2016

    In Die Hard, Hans Gruber and associates need to break through seven locks in the right order on a safe to get to bearer bonds worth 640 million dollars. Of course the hero John McClane foils the plot and beats the villains. Nothing so exciting in yeast, but some genes are nearly as hard to turn on as that safe was to open. One of the most stubborn is the HO gene. It requires three locks... Read...
