A genome-wide portrait of pervasive drug contaminants

Abstract Using a validated yeast chemogenomic platform, we characterized the genome-wide effects of several pharmaceutical contaminants, including three N-nitrosamines (NDMA, NDEA and NMBA), two related compounds (DMF and 4NQO) and several of their metabolites. A collection of 4800 non-essential hom...
