PomBase is a comprehensive Model Organism DataBase (MOD) database for the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe (S. pombe or fission yeast). Fission yeast is a eukaryotic model species used to study many cell biological processes relevant to humans (for example: cytokinesis, DNA replication, cell cycle, gene expression, membrane biology,  and chromosome segregation).  Over 75% of its 5000 proteins are conserved to human, mainly those which are critical to maintaining a single cell. Over 1400 ...
