Chung and Khurana used the wealth of data from the yeast alpha - synuclein toxicity model to clue them in on key cellular processes that became perturbed as patient neurons aged in the dish.

In addition, projects to perform genetic interaction screens on disease genes in model organisms (yeast, worm, fly, fish) will not be considered, unless the project includes substantive specific aims that investigate the disease relevance of any new genes discovered in human or mammalian model systems.
