Mitochondrial DNA repairs double-strand breaks in yeast chromosomes
Article Abstract:
A mechanism by which fragments of mitochondrial DNA are transported to yeast chromosomes during repair of double-strand breaks in haploid mitotic cells, is reported. An analysis of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae mitochondrial genome suggests that the yeast nuclear genome contains several short sequences of mitochondrial origin.

Gut feeling for yeasts
Article Abstract:
Researcher Suh added 200 more species of yeasts among about 1,000 species known worldwide, which are identified from sampled in the southeastern United States and Panama. The findings propose that some undiscovered species would be sources of useful compounds or as agents for biological control.
