Yeast has great utility as a surrogate system to study aspects of mammalian biology. This utility extends to the drug discovery process, where yeast has been used to reveal the mechanism of action of compounds, to discover and characterize components of signaling pathways and to dissect protein func
Genetic and genomic research in model organisms has tremendously accelerated our understanding of the basic biological processes that lie at the heart of human disease. The genetic dissection of disease-relevant signaling pathways in Drosophila offers an ideal tool to identify novel drug targets for
