Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Yeast cells are easy to manipulate, divide rapidly (every 90 minutes), and are very cost-effective. Furthermore, the high conservation of numerous cellular pathways has made this unicellular eukaryote an optimal model organism. This humble microorganism has played a significant role in deciphering a myriad of fundamental biological processes, ranging from cell cycle regulation to protein ubiquitylation.
The genetic manipulability of yeast has been the driving force behind these scientific discoveries, allowing researchers to easily introduce, mutate, or delete genes. Even if recent CRISPR technologies have revolutionized the genetic manipulation of mammalian cells, yeast genetics remains indispensable in unraveling complex genetic interactions and understanding redundant cellular pathways.
In tandem with genetics, proteomics has emerged as a powerful tool in elucidating protein function and regulation. Rapid and recent advances in proteomic techniques now enable the identification and quantification of thousands of proteins and post-translational modifications in a single experiment. In the context of yeast research, proteomics has provided deeper insights into cellular processes and signal transduction pathways that have subsequently been shown to be conserved in higher organisms.
Therefore, as the Guest Editors of this Special Issue, we invite you to submit research articles, reviews, and minireviews that explore all aspects of yeast genetics and proteomics that can further advance our understanding of cellular processes.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Microorganisms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
