Project description:Abf1 and Reb1, two general regulatory factors playing roles at promoters and other genome functional sites in budding yeast, were mapped genome-wide by ChIP-sequencing using strains expressing TAP-tagged versions of the proteins. As expected on the basis of previous in silico analysis of promoter regions, we found that these factors are enriched at the promoters of ribosome biogenesis (Ribi) genes, a large regulon of more than 200 genes required for ribosome biosynthesis and assembly, and known to be coordinately regulated in response to nutrient availability and cellular growth rate.
Project description:To characterize the ecological interactions among S. cerevisiae strains coming from the same geographical area, we examined the fitness of two natural isolates from San Giovese grapes, alone or in competition, in synthetic wine must (SWM). We performed genome-wide analyses in order to identify the genes involved in yeast competition and cooperation.
Project description:MNase-seq Experiments from Calorie Restricted and Non-Restricted Yeast from WT, ISW2DEL and ISW2K215R strains We used MNase-seq to study genome-wide nucleosome positions under Calorie Restricted and Non-restricted Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Project description:The Zap1 transcription factor is a central player in the response of yeast to changes in zinc status. Zap1 acts as both a positive and negative regulator of its target genes. We previously used transcriptome profiling with DNA microarrays to identify 46 potential Zap1 target genes in the yeast genome. In this study, we have used complementary methods to identify additional Zap1 target genes. With alternative growth conditions for the microarray experiments and a more sensitive motif identification algorithm, we have identified 31 new potential targets of Zap1 activation. Keywords: Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae whole genome array We compared cells overexpressing a constitutive allele of Zap1v.s. vector alone (E3) and wild type strain in severe zinc deficiency v.s. zinc-replete condition (E4)

Project description:We report the application of single-molecule-based sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of histone modifications in yeast. By obtaining bases of sequence from chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA, we generated genome-wide chromatin-state maps of saccharomuces cerevisiae.We find that H3T11 phosphorylationlysine is widely distributed in gene promoter region and chromosome telomere region
