Glycosylation: a hallmark of cancer?

abstract：:Heterologous complementation in yeast has been a successful tool for cloning and characterisation of genes from various organisms. Therefore we constructed conditionally lethal Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains by replacing the endogenous promoter from the genes of interest (glycosyltransferases) by the stringently reg...
