Abstract
The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been one of the premier models for the study of eukaryote molecular biology for over 50 years. These studies have revealed a complex and robust yeast phenome and elucidated many of the underlying principles common to all eukaryotes including DNA, RNA, protein and metabolite interaction networks. However the degree complexity and integration of the cellular network has made dissecting the temporal dynamics of the phenotype a rather daunting task. Here I review work on glycolytic oscillation, oscillation observed in continuous culture and colony pattern formation, and find that redox is a central thread underpinning these phenomena. The outputs of the systems involve sub-networks that are at the core of the cellular network, e.g., glycolysis, stress response, respiration, cell cycle, amino acid biosynthesis, leading to the conclusion that a fundamental redox attractor underpins these core cellular processes.

Deep learning in Single Cell Analysis
The field of biology is undergoing a revolution in our ability to study individual cells at the molecular level, and to integrate data from multiple sources and modalities. This has been made possible by advances in technologies for single-cell sequencing, multi-omics profiling, spatial transcriptomics, and high-throughput imaging, as well as ...read more
New insights on Pediatric Tumors and Associated Cancer Predisposition Syndromes
Because of the broad spectrum of children cancer susceptibility, the diagnosis of cancer risk syndromes in children is rarely used in direct cancer treatment. The field of pediatric cancer genetics and genomics will only continue to expand as a result of increasing use of genetic testing tools. It's possible that ...read more
