Selenium toxicity toward yeast as assessed by microarray analysis and deletion mutant library screen: a role for DNA repair.

Abstract excerpt

Selenium (Se) is a trace element that is essential for human health as it takes part in many cellular processes. The cellular response to this compound elicits very diverse processes including DNA damage response and repair. Because an inorganic form of Se, sodium selenite (SeL), has often been a part of numerous studies and because this form of Se is used as a dietary supplement by the public, here, we...
