Many genes are regulated as an innate part of the eukaryotic cell cycle, and a complex transcriptional network helps
enable the cyclic behavior of dividing cells. This transcriptional network has been studied in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(budding yeast) and elsewhere. To provide more perspective on these regulatory mechanisms, we have used
microarrays to measure gene expression through the cell cycle of Schizosaccharomyces pombe (fission yeast). The 750
genes with the most significant oscillations were identified and analyzed. There were two broad waves of cell cycle
transcription, one in early/mid G2 phase, and the other near the G2/M transition. The early/mid G2 wave included
many genes involved in ribosome biogenesis, possibly explaining the cell cycle oscillation in protein synthesis in S.
pombe. The G2/M wave included at least three distinctly regulated clusters of genes: one large cluster including
mitosis, mitotic exit, and cell separation functions, one small cluster dedicated to DNA replication, and another small
cluster dedicated to cytokinesis and division. S. pombe cell cycle
