Abstract excerpt
Determining the mode of action of bioactive compounds, including natural products, is a central problem in chemical biology. Because many genes are conserved from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to humans and a number of powerful genomics tools and methodologies have been developed for this model system, yeast is making a major contribution to the field of chemical genetics. The set of barcoded yeast deletion...
