The article that I have chosen for extra credit was an article Stanford Report’s Bjorn Carey wrote about associate Biology professor Jan Skotheim and a team he has been working with about conducting research to see how the growth of cells could lead to cell division. What this team did first was they chose to test on yeast because it is easy to manipulate and they believed that if they could have success on yeast, they could take what they found and use it on human cells. The team began to look at a protein called Cln3, which is the first protein that leads up to the G1/S transition because they thought that the first cell would show them something on why cells divide.
