Charting gene secrets: Fission yeast strains provide insights into genetic switches
Gene regulation underpins nearly every biological process—from cell development to responses to environmental changes, and understanding it can provide insights into cancer and other diseases. Now, FMI researchers have made significant progress in uncovering how transcription factors—proteins that control gene expression—work in fission yeast, a key model organism for studying gene regulation.
