Why are you so different from your mother?
Ever wondered why the daughter is often different from the mother even though both have the same genetic material? Well, a new study has revealed how this happens in yeast cells.
In their study, a team at Northwestern University has discovered a new mechanism for cell fate determination–how one cell, the daughter, becomes dramatically different from the mother.
In fact, the study of yeast has shown why mothers and daughters differ in how they express their genes, the ‘PloS Biology' journal reported.
Many of the fundamental mechanisms for cell division in yeast are conserved, or very similar, in mammals;many of the proteins involved in human disease are related to proteins that are involved in yeast cell division.
