A comprehensive microarray-based analysis of the cell cycle shows that periodic transcription of most genes is not conserved between Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A core group of ∼40–80 genes have conserved patterns of transcription and may have key roles in cell cycle progression.
