UNICELLSYS Data Portal

The objective of UNICELLSYS is to gain a quantitative understanding of fundamental characteristics of eukaryotic unicellular organism biology: how cell growth and proliferation are controlled and coordinated by extracellular and intrinsic stimuli.

Systems biology of the control of cell growth and proliferation

It is increasingly clear that cell regulation is achieved through dynamic and interconnected systems, rather than through isolated pathways. For the purpose of UNICELLSYS, the system is defined as the functional modules and pathways controlling cell growth, proliferation and response to the environment. Cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae are used as the model organism for this project.

S. cerevisiae cell division generates a larger mother and a smaller daughter cell. The daughter cell requires a longer G1 phase than the mother cell to achieve the critical cell size to start S-phase and a new round of cell division.
