Recent data by Park et al. suggests that Vir1p, the #yeast homolog of virilizer, is required for cells to initiate the meiotic program and for progression through the meiotic divisions and spore formation. #GENETICS | Zac Park | bit.ly/3Jh2JBx

Excited this work is fully published! Key takeaway: yeast are using a complex that is more similar than previously thought to that of other eukaryotes (including humans) to methylate their mRNA!
