Investor Relations Proprietary S. pombe Heterozygous Genome-wide Knockout Library X This mutant library enables true genome-wide drug target screening!!! #1 gene
Investor Relations (Giaever et al., 2004; Lum et al., 2004; Parsons et al., 2004) 2. Drug-induced Haploinsufficiency (DIH) Screening is based on Heterozygous Genome-wide Knockout Library Reducing the copy number of a gene from two copies to one often results in a strain that is sensitized to drugs that act on the product of this gene.

Investor Relations S. pombe is an Ideal Model Organism for Mammalian Cells ( * Merck co. uses S. cerevisiae mutant library for their drug discovery & development.) Fission yeast S. pombe is considered superior to budding yeast S. cerevisiae as a model organism, because its cell division pattern is more similar to that of mammalian cells.
