Circadian Entrainment of Drosophila Melanogaster

Nearly universal among organisms, circadian rhythms coordinate biological activity to earth&#39;s orbit around the sun. To identify factors creating this ...

<p class="jove_content">A method for embedding yeast colonies allowing sectioning for light and electron microscopy. This protocol allows determination of the distribution of sporulated cells and pseudohyphal cells within colonies providing a new tool toward understanding the  organization of cell types within a fungal community.  </p>

Yeast Colony Embedding Method

Patterning of  different cell types in embryos is a key mechanism in metazoan development. Communities of microorganisms, such as colonies and biofilms ...
