X Abstract

The Saccharomyces genome-deletion project created >5900 'molecularly barcoded' yeast knockout mutants (YKO mutants). The YKO mutant collections have facilitated large-scale analyses of a multitude of mutant phenotypes. For example, both synthetic genetic array (SGA) and synthetic-lethality analysis by microarray (SLAM) methods have been used for synthetic-lethality screens. Global analysis of synthetic lethality promises to identify cellular pathways that 'buffer' each other biologically. The combination of global synthetic-lethality analysis, together with global protein-protein interaction analyses, mRNA expression profiling and functional profiling will, in principle, enable construction of a cellular 'wiring diagram' that will help frame a deeper understanding of human biology and disease.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
