This detailed volume explores techniques utilizing the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, a powerful tractable model system for eukaryotic biology. The book begins with a section on microscopy and imaging, and it continues with chapters covering genome and plasmid editing, including the use of CRISPR/Cas9 technologies, as well as the analysis of DNA damage, repair, and recombination, and more. The volume also includes chapters with a focus on computational methods specific to the approaches. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Schizosaccharomyces pombe: Methods and Protocols serves as the ideal guide for researchers in the fission yeast community working with emerging technologies.
DNA replication is a fundamental part of the life cycle of all organisms. Not surprisingly many aspects of this process display profound conservation across organisms in all domains of life. The chapters in this volume outline and review the current state of knowledge on several key aspects of the DNA replication process. This is a critical process in both normal growth and development and in relation to a broad variety of pathological conditions including cancer. The reader will be provided with new insights into the initiation, regulation, and progression of DNA replication as well as a collection of thought provoking questions and summaries to direct future investigations.
