When researchers look for an organism to use in their studies, they look for several traits. Among these are size, generation time, accessibility, manipulation, genetics, conservation of mechanisms, and potential economic benefit. The yeast species ''S. pombe'' and ''S. cerevisiae'' are both well studied; these two species diverged approximately 600 to 300 million years ago, and are significant tools in the study of DNA damage and repair mechanisms.<ref>{{cite book |first1= Jac A. |last1=Nickoloff |first2=James E. |last2=Haber |date=2011 |chapter=Mating-Type Control of DNA Repair and Recombination in ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'' |doi=10.1007/978-1-59259-095-7_5 |pages=107–124 |editor1-first=Jac A. |editor1-last=Nickoloff |editor2-first=Merl F. |editor2-last=Hoekstra |title=DNA Damage and Repair |series=Contemporary Cancer Research |isbn=978-1-59259-095-7|doi-broken-date=1 August 2023 | chapter-url=https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-59259-095-7_5}}</ref> | When researchers look for an organism to use in their studies, they look for several traits.
