“I don’t consider myself qualified to say what the most important things are that have been discovered in the field of the Yeast genome and variations thereof. There are so many truly amazing discoveries that have been made or confirmed in yeast. However, it is clear that the recent changes to genomic technologies are enabling a rapid shift in the scale and types of experiments that are being undertaken. As such, I think that genomic scale studies will become much more common place and affordable over the next few years. These changes will mean that as biologists we have to adapt to a new way of designing and analyzing our experiments. As every generation repeats, the next few years will revolutionize the way we do science.”
