Abstract excerpt
Cross-species complementation can be used to generate humanized yeast, which is a valuable resource with which to model and study human biology. Humanized yeast can be used as an in vivo platform to screen for chemical inhibition of human protein drug targets. To this end, we report the systematic complementation of nonessential yeast genes implicated in chromosome instability (CIN) with their human homologs. We...
