The Molecular Biology of the Yeast Saccharomyces: Life Cycle and Inheritance

  Because of the ease with which Saccharomyces could be manipulated genetically, by the early 1980s a large body of data on the biochemistry and genetics of yeast had accumulated. The cell and life cycles of yeast had been the subject of extensive mutational, biochemical, and cytological research and basic questions about gene organization, regulation of genetic expression, and movable genetic elements were being explored. All these topics were reviewed and interrelated in the two books published as The Molecular Biology of the Yeast Saccharomyces in 1981 and 1982. These books remain a unique introduction to the field of yeast research and an invaluable reference work containing information not readily obtainable elsewhere.
