Yeast Genetics: Concepts, Tools & Applications

Catalog description

Explores genetic techniques and concepts using yeast as a model organism. Covers core molecular genetic concepts, such as mutation, gene-gene interactions, and genetic buffering, focusing on how these relate to human biology through conserved pathways. Introduces classic genetic techniques, such as functional complementation and analysis of conserved genes between yeast and humans, emphasizing how yeast can be used as a model for understanding complex cellular functions.
