✦ Synopsis

A complete library of mutant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains, each deleted for a single representative of yeast's 6000 protein-encoding genes, has been constructed. This represents a major biological resource for the study of eukaryotic functional genomics. However, yeast is also being used as a test-bed for the development of functional genomic technologies at all levels of analysis, including the transcriptome, proteome and metabolome.
