Summary

Story summary

Researchers from Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and Stanford University developed a method to predict the effects of genetic mutations in yeast.
The study shows small genetic changes can significantly impact cell growth under altered conditions, such as drug treatment.
Prof. Markus Ralser of Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and Stanford University described the genome-to-proteome map as helping predict protein functions and interactions.
Future work will apply this approach to fungal pathogens affecting humans.
