Evolutionary and biochemical aspects of chemical stress resistance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Large-scale chemical genetics screens (chemogenomics) in yeast have been widely used to find drug targets, understand the mechanism-of-action of compounds, and unravel the biochemistry of drug resistance. Chemogenomics is based on the comparison of growth of gene deletants in the presence and absenc...
