Genome

Schizosaccharomyces pombe (fission yeast) Fission yeast, an excellent model organism. Lineage: Eukaryota[15557]; Fungi[5220]; Dikarya[4853]; Ascomycota[3867]; Taphrinomycotina[32]; Schizosaccharomycetes[6]; Schizosaccharomycetales[6]; Schizosaccharomycetaceae[6]; Schizosaccharomyces[6]; Schizosaccharomyces pombe[1]

The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is an excellent model organism for studying eukaryotic processes such as cell cycle control, mitosis and meiosis, DNA repair and recombination, splicing, and the checkpoint controls important for genome stability. Schizosaccharomyces pombe forms a rod-shaped cell that grows at its tips and divides More...by medial fission. Although originally isolated in East African millet beer ('pombe' means 'beer' in Swahili), Schizosaccharomyces pombe is not recommended for brewing.The haploid Schizosaccharomyces pombe genome is approximately 14 Mb, of which about 12.5 Mb is unique sequence. The genome is organized in 3 chromosomes. Less...
