- Course objectives
- The major goal of this course is to introduce yeast as a useful model organism. Thanks to its easy genetics it can be used to study common cellular processes. Students will find basic information about budding and fission yeast as well as the most recent topics from molecular biology of yeast cell. Understanding yeast opens the way to understand more complex processes and organisms too.
- Syllabus
- Yeast basic characteristics. Yeasts as cytological model. Yeast cell wall. Cell division cycle. Genetics of yeasts. Molecular biology of mating process. Polarity of cells. Mitochondrial genome. DNA metabolism in yeast cell. Cytoskeleton.
