Rhythmic Genomics — The Yeast Metronome And The Walk Of Life
New genome sequence information from the humble baker’s yeast has revealed surprising variation in a set of genes that can be thought of as nature’s oldest clock. In a paper published in Genome Research scientists show how ribosomal RNA genes that are essential to all Earth’s organisms provide insight into how genomes maintain their integrity on their evolutionary journey.
