Transcriptomic profiling of S. cerevisiae wild type and aft2 mutant in response to exposure to selenite

The yeast S. cerevisiae does not require selenium for growth, so it is an excellent model to investigate the toxicity of this element without interference from its requirement as growth factor as occurs in animal cells酿酒酵母（S. cerevisiae）的生长并不依赖硒元素，因此它是研究该元素毒性的极佳模型体系，可规避动物细胞实验中因硒作为生长因子的需求所引发的干扰。
