Saccharomyces Genome Database
@yeastgenome.bsky.social
The Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD) provides comprehensive biological information for the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae along with search and analysis tools to explore these data, enabling scientific discovery.
Using #yeast, Yu et al show templated insertions at double-strand breaks in cancers arise from foldback mechanism involving microhomologies. Lack of RPA may drive this process, shedding light on cancer's genetic instability #CancerResearch #Genetics #DNARepair
