Abstract excerpt
Fission and budding yeast have been regarded as valuable tools for studying several cellular processes in eukaryotic cells and have been exploited as model systems for the identification of determinants of chemosensitivity. Indeed, yeast mutants of DNA repair and cell cycle checkpoint pathways exhibit increased sensitivity to selected antitumor drugs, thereby allowing us to establish the role of specific genes in...
