Gene regulation underpins nearly every biological process—from cell development to responses to environmental changes, and understanding it can provide insights into cancer and other diseases.

The Noguchi Lab works with mammalian cells and fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe). Fission yeast is an exceptional model system for studying cell cycle control and genome maintenance mechanisms ...

This graph shows the contribution of DNA transposons and retrotransposons in percentage relative to the total number of transposable elements in each species. (Sc: Saccharomyces cerevisiae; Sp ...

Scientists have learned a lot about how genes are controlled by studying simple organisms such as fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe). However, most transcription factors haven't been fully ...
