  • Look Before You Leap...Into DNA Repair

    06/09/2016
    Sometimes in an emergency, it can be useful to take a pause before trying to fix a problem. If the ambulance is on the way you may not want to start removing someone’s appendix right then and there. Yes you may save them, but the ambulance and EMTs will do less damage to the patient once they get there. The same sort of logic applies to cells too. For example, a double stranded break is a...

  • New High-throughput GO Annotations Added to SGD

    06/06/2016
    We’ve added 1,400 high-throughput (HTP) cellular component GO annotations from a new paper published by Maya Schuldiner’s lab. In this paper, Yofe et al., 2016 devised and implemented a methodology, called SWAT (short for SWAp-Tag), creating a parental library containing 1,800 strains, all known or predicted to localize to the yeast endomembrane system. Once created, this novel acceptor library serves as a template that can be ’swapped’ into other libraries, thus facilitating the rapid interconversion... Read...
  • Sometimes You Need Half a Trillion

    06/01/2016
    In the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov, Hari Seldon invented a field of study called psychohistory which was able to “make general predictions” about human history. It only worked because the population of the Galactic Empire was in the quadrillions. You need huge numbers to get useful predictions. Sometimes real life biologists need lots of individuals to see what they are looking for too. In the case of a recent paper in PNAS by Lee and... Read...
  • Next SGD Webinar: June 1, 2016

    05/26/2016
    If you’re not already using JBrowse to view all your favorite S. cerevisiae genes…you should be! SGD's JBrowse is a quick and easy way to browse through the information-rich yeast genome. Using JBrowse, you can visualize spatial relationships between genes, locate SGD annotations throughout the yeast genome, and align chromosomal features to hundreds of experimental data sets. Our upcoming webinar on June 1st will provide a short 15-minute tutorial on the basics of JBrowse. We will... Read...
