Leland H. Hartwell Director, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Nobel Laureate for Medicine, 2001 Yeast has proved to be the most useful single-celled organism for studying the fundamental aspects of cell biology. Resources are now available for yeast that greatly simplify and empower new investigations, like the presence of strains with each gene deleted, each protein tagged and databases on protein protein interactions, gene regulation, and subcellular protein location. A powerful combination of genetics, cell biology, and biochemistry employed by thousands of yeast researchers has...

This title offers a unique and up-to-date review of eukaryotic virulence in fungi, oomycetes, and protozoa parasites and how they affect both animals and plants.

Fungi research and knowledge grew rapidly following recent advances in genetics and genomics.
