The yeast metabolic cycle: insights into the life of a eukaryotic cell
Open accessAbstract
The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae undergoes robust oscillations in oxygen consumption during continuous growth under nutrient-limited conditions. Comprehensive microarray studies reveal that more than half of the yeast genome is expressed periodically as a function of these respiratory oscillations, thereby specifying an extensively orchestrated program responsible for regulating numerous cellular outputs. Here, we summarize the logic of the yeast metabolic cycle (YMC) and highlight additional cellular processes that are predicted to be compartmentalized in time. Certain principles of temporal orchestration as seen during the YMC might be conserved across other biological cycles.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
