Where does fission yeast sit on the tree of life?

The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe are as different from each other as either is from animals: their ancestors separated about 420 to 330 million years ago. Now that S. pombe is poised to join the post-genome era, its evolutionary position shou...

Now that S. pombe is poised to join the post-genome era, its evolutionary position should become much clearer.
