What is the YRC?
The Yeast Resource Center (YRC) is a multi-disciplinary NCRR Biomedical Technology Resource Center focused on exploiting the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model organism to develop tools and technologies to characterize proteins and proteomes, which may then be applied to other systems. Principle technologies employed by the YRC include protein mass spectrometry, protein structure prediction and design, fluorescence microscopy (including fluorescence energy transfer), yeast two-hybrid, and development of novel computational biology algorithms. In addition to core technology development projects, the YRC participates in hundreds of proteomics collaborations each year with researchers around the world.
