Hypothesis Driven versus Hypothesis-free: Filling the Gaps in CoQ Biosynthesis

Cell Metab. 2016 Oct 11;24(4):525-526. doi: 10.1016/j.cmet.2016.09.021.

Abstract

Two independent investigations based on the power of yeast genetics, but using radically different discovery-driven approaches, have solved a long-pursued goal: the understanding of the early steps in CoQ biosynthesis, which may help diagnose CoQ deficiencies of unknown origin (Payet et al., 2016; Stefely et al., 2016).
