all this work is worth the effort as long as the development of yeasts keeps pace with our results ive seen sum up to it but a steady line of refrence would help n it would be nice to see our results go to the right department.

I think yeast is a base to mass produce compounds or vaccines........or beer.

gad yeast is an easily controlled bacteria that can be genetically enginered into allmost any form of dna so 4 example if you wanted to test the effects of a virus upon a set culture yeast is used as a exact substitute for that culture
intead of inject a mouse recreate the conditions satisfied by the mouse with yeast n observe the results. the other alternative of using stem cells to grow the bit to test allso removes rover from the field of fire rover means it worry a lot there are vegan dog owners with vegan dogs out there n they do a lot of damage in the name of no cruelty to animals,science offers them an alternative they mean to take that alternative |

I'm afraid that is almost completely wrong in every way.

Well there's always WikiPedia to ask: "Yeast" .....and so as said it's used e.g. in Beer fermentation, but there's more ;>)

Well, Sekerob, I wouldn't be much of a "HomeBrewer" if I didn't know anything about yeast, including its use in the fermentation of alcohol. That wasn't my point when I asked George: "What are you talking about?" For some reason, I generally have a hard time understanding George -- and, by profession, I'm usually pretty good at understanding people. Perhaps English is not his first language?! Learning punctuation would definitely help. No disrespect intended.

Bill, when posting, most often i put (more) information in there, that a respondent or the original thread opener already knows........ its for those others readers that might not know.... i'm sure the fast majority of the 'golden fluid' consuming populous knows ;>)
----------------------------------------GEORGE's lettuce crunching turbo talk requires lots of interpretation...... i speak a few languages, but not quite as many as a good friend of mine who is fluent in 8.....6 western European originating + Arab and Russian...... send him a few samples and he has trouble too. There's some fun in the FONETIK thread about english and someone commenting that a good portion of native english speakers dont know their own / 'foreigners' knowing it better ....... how true that is. As to what GEORGE said and the post [I'm afraid that is almost completely wrong in every way] and the author not lifting a tip of the veil, doesn't fly for me (will only speak for me)..... from under what hat did that come from? ciao

What, and ruin the fun of researching it for yourself? I would never do that!
----------------------------------------While I am a fount of knowledge in on-topic threads, and will leave no stone unturned in searching for answers for my fellow crunchers, if I do the same in every thread I risk looking like a pompous know-it-all. Oh, who am I kidding? Yeast is a useful model organism, because it is so well studied. It cannot be used as an exact substitute for anything, and changing its DNA is an entirely different kettle of fish. Besides, bioengineering usually uses bacteria such as e. coli for protein synthesis - yeast is fairly rare in this context. Oh, and yeast is a fungi, not a bacteria, so George really did get almost everything totally wrong. So, now you know. Don't take my word for it, use this as the basis for your own research. Learning is fun. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Sep 25, 2006 9:12:54 AM] |

Oh, who am I kidding? Yeast is a useful model organism, because it is so well studied. Yes it is a very good model organism. Dr. Bonneu & Baker's HPF1 results focused on yeast: http://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/forum_thread.php?id=1177#24241 I'm working tonight on a manuscript with my former graduate student Rich Bonneau on some of the results from HPF1 done on the world community grid. We predicted structures for all the proteins in one of the best studied eukaryotic organisms--the yeast used to make bread and beer, and then integrated these predictions with other experimental data to assign 500 proteins of previously unknown structure to protein structural families. http://www.nyu.edu/fas/biology/faculty/bonneau/hpf-results.pdf Workers at the UW are also exploring our results for yeast, a key model organism that is the center of a gigantic global research effort. As for the rest of George's post, I'm lost too  |
