Yeast as a Model Organism
Open accessAbstract
Yeast have many genes with homologs in humans. Has our understanding of these genes helped our understanding of human biology or disease? In his Perspective, Botstein argues yes and, as an example, discusses a report in this week9s issue by Sinclair et al. on the yeast homolog of the gene whose dysfunction causes a disease of premature aging, Werner syndrome.

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.
