hiivasybridimenetelmä

The hiivasybridimenetelmä, often translated as the yeast hybrid method, is a technique used in molecular biology and genetics for studying gene function and interactions. It leverages the genetic malleability of yeast, particularly *Saccharomyces cerevisiae*, to create and analyze hybrid cells. These hybrids are formed by fusing cells from different yeast strains, which may possess distinct genetic markers or mutations. By observing how these traits are inherited or expressed in the hybrid offspring, researchers can infer relationships between genes, identify genes responsible for specific phenotypes, or study the effects of combining different genetic backgrounds. The method relies on the ease with which yeast can be genetically manipulated and the relatively simple genetic system of yeast, making it a powerful tool for fundamental biological research. This technique has been instrumental in understanding complex genetic pathways and in the early days of genetic engineering.
