- Some science news to brighten up your timelines ☀️ Our latest work on the modifiers that cause changes in gene essentiality between genetic backgrounds, now on bioRxiv: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... So what did we find?
- Many studies have identified differences in gene essentiality between genetically distinct individuals or organisms. But, the genetic causes (“modifiers”) that are underlying these differences often remain unknown. Here, we set out to systematically identify such modifiers in the budding yeast
