PombeNet
at The Forsburg Lab

Welcome to PombeNet, and the Forsburg Lab!

We are part of the Molecular & Computational Biology Section in the Dept of Biological Sciences at the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles, CA. Our research examines the links between DNA replication, cell cycle, and chromosome dynamics in a model genetic system: the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

This web site (PombeNet) offers information on DNA replication and our research, as well as practical information, protocols and reference pages for working with fission yeast, internet guides to pombe, sequence analysis, and women in biology, and an introduction to our group. Students can find teaching pages for Susan's courses and lectures. There are also pages about running.

Use this directory page to find your way to the most appropriate section of our web site, from which you can navigate to additional internal pages. An abbreviated directory can also be found at the bottom of the internal pages.

North American pombe meeting 2008


The Pombewood meeting was a great success. LInks to pictures will be provided when I get them. Due to popular demand, we will do another T-shirt run with the meeting logo on it. If you want an extra T-shirt (or a few!) let me know. You must send me $10/shirt before June 27th (check or cash). If you did not come to the coolest meeting in California, you can still buy a t-shirt. :-)

Pombe, the cheetah

The San Diego Zoo has named one of its female cheetah cubs "Pombe". Excellent choice, we think.
