This paper presents the applications of microarrays to fundamental and applied biological problems in yeast. Examples are given for secondary metabolite fermentation development and cellular response to stress. Two principles to gain insight into gene function are described: those that derive information from altered gene function and those that observe the behavior of intact genes.

A genome-wide inventory of yeast genes that are induced or repressed in response to sporulation. This analysis demonstrates the power of cluster analysis for grouping genes into different pathways. The gene expression patterns during sporulation followed two major stages in meiosis: first, the meiotic prophase; and second, meiotic division and gamete morphogenesis. Novel genes participating in the meiotic pathway were discovered.

The authors describe the classification of two types of leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), based on specific gene expression patterns. Statistical methods for class discovery and prediction were shown to distinguish between subtypes of human acute leukemias.

Science. 283:1999;83-87. This experiment follows gene expression over 15 time points in response of human fibroblast to serum. First responses occurred within 15 minutes as shown by the up- and down-regulation of transcription factors. Genes were clustered according to their response pattern, such as those showing an early or late response, genes that peaked shortly and genes that were first up-regulated and then down-regulated.

The first example of how microarray experiments can contribute to our understanding of adaptation. Three yeast strains were selected by their ability to grow on minimal medium during 250-500 generations. The analysis of the expression patterns in the three evolved strains indicated that increased fitness was acquired by altering regulation of central metabolism such that less glucose is fermented and more glucose is completely oxidized.

Functional characterization of the S. cerevisiae genome by gene deletion and parallel analysis 3. Science. 285:1999;901-906. This in vivo whole-genome approach identified genes that affect growth in a systematically manner. As a first step, deletion mutants for 2026 yeast genes were generated. Second, they were subjected to a competitive fitness test by growing mixtures of 500 mutant strains for a number of generations. Mutants that affected growth caused an under representation of those strains. In this manner, genes were identified that increased the relative fitness of the strain. The abundance of the mutants in the mixture was measured on microarrays.

Cell. 95:1998;717-728. The paper unravels the effect of key components of the transcriptional machinery on gene expression via mutant analysis. Distinct sets of genes and a distinct percentage of genes depend on the functions of components of the RNA polymerase II holoenzyme, the general transcription factor TFIID, and the SAGA chromatin modification complex.
42. Doebley J., Lukens L. Transcriptional regulators and the evolution of plant form. Plant Cell. 10:1998;1075-1082. The authors argue that changes in gene regulation underlie the evolution of plant form rather than a change in function of proteins. They strengthen their hypothesis using examples of genes that regulate development in plants and animals. They discuss how ideas about evolution have developed since Darwin's theory.
