Revision as of 14:11, 23 February 2007

General S. cerevisiae information

  • An introduction to yeast, the most ideal eukaryotic microorganism for biological studies.
  • A tutorial from the University of Saskatchewan provides an introduction to SGD and to S. cerevisiae molecular biology and genetics.
  • SGD maintains a list of websites with relevance to S. cerevisiae molecular biology and genetics and to general molecular biology.
  • Search the Yeast BioSci (a.k.a. BioNet) Electronic Conference

Educational resources

  • Genetics Education Network Tom Manney's (Kansas State University) yeast experiments for undergrads and high school students. A well-done and informative web site for yeast in the classroom.
  • Research Link 2000 Aimed at undergraduate classrooms, this is an offshoot of Tom Manney's yeast experiments. It also lists other model organisms.
  • MendelWeb, an educational resource on the origins of classical genetics.
  • American Society for Microbiology. The ASM website lists resources in its education section. The ASM publishes numerous books on microbiology education at various levels.

Schizosaccharomyces pombe information

Candida albicans information

  • CandidaDB, a genomic database for C. albicans, part of the Galar Fungail Consortium project

Links to other fungal information

Fungal genome sequencing projects

  • The Génolevures project, featuring partial genomic sequence for 13 Hemiascomycete species

Fungal genome database projects

  • CryptoBase, a scientific database resource at UCSF for C. neoformans var. grubii (serotype A)

Biology related career resources

Following is a list of sites that post biology related job openings. Please note that this is not a comprehensive list. Some of these sites may be free (may require registration) for job seekers, job posters or both.
