Systematic functional analysis of the yeast genome.

Department of Biomolecular Sciences, UMIST, Manchester, UK. steve.oliver@umist.ac.uk

The genome sequence of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has provided the first complete inventory of the working parts of a eukaryotic cell. The challenge is now to discover what each of the gene products does and how they interact in a living yeast cell. Systematic and comprehensive approaches to the elucidation of yeast gene function are discussed and the prospects for the functional genomics of eukaryotic organisms evaluated.
