The Early Days of Yeast Genetics

In a series of illustrated scientific reminiscences much along the lines of Phage and the Origins of Molecular Biology , the history of yeast genetics is recorded as viewed by the protagonists themselves, who describe how specific topics or lines of investigation in which they were involved developed within a context of influencing events and personalities. The volume is divided into sections on beginnings; recombination, gene conversion, mutation, and repair; mitochondria and cytoplasmic inheritance; mating; cell cycle; gene structure and expression; molecular biology; and institutions.
