Fission Yeast: A Laboratory Manual

Studies of fission yeast were instrumental in revealing the fundamental mechanisms that control cell division in organisms from yeast to humans, and fission yeast such as Schizosaccahromyces pombe continue to be an important model for research on cell growth and division and cell polarity. This book is a state-of-the-art manual containing detailed descriptions of biochemical, genetic, and cell biological techniques for research using these organisms.
