Bottleneck genes and community structure in the cell cycle network of S-pombe

Paolo De Los Rios, Francesco Piazza, Cécile Caretta Cartozo

The identification of cell cycle-related genes is still a difficult task, even for organisms with relatively few genes such as the fission yeast. Several gene expression studies have been published on S. pombe showing similarities but also discrepancies in ...
