Transcription profiling of fission yeast in response to changes in copper and iron levels

ABSTRACT: Recent studies in comparative genomics demonstrate that inter-species comparisons represent a powerful tool for revealing both conserved and specialized biological processes across large evolutionary distances. All cells need to adjust to environmental fluctuations in metal levels since both metal excess and deficit are detrimental. Here, we explore the conservation of metal homoeostasis in two distantly related yeasts, examining genome-wide gene expression responses to changing copper and iron levels in budding and fission yeast using DNA microarrays
