How yeast switch mating type and why we care

For grad students needing background on work in the Haber lab studying DNA recombination and repair, there are a couple new papers out to help you. A new review by Prof. Haber entitled Mating-type genes and MAT switching in Saccharomyces cerevisiae in Genetics provides a detailed introduction to literature. There’s a lot there… as Jim says in the Acknowledgements

The part of this work that derives from my own lab has been carried out for more than 30 years by an exceptional contingent of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, technicians, and Brandeis University undergraduates […]

If methods papers are what you need instead, check out Sugawara & Haber (2012), Monitoring DNA Recombination Initiated by HO Endonuclease in Methods in Molecular Biology.
