Schizosaccharomyces pombe has always suffered from a relative paucity of tools and resources, particularly when compared to Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The European Fission Yeast Meeting, held in March 2006, brought together a significant proportion of the Sz. pombe research community, so it was an ideal opportunity to hold a discussion session on the future needs of those working on this model organism. While the session generated a consensus on the most essential requirements, it also demonstrated the frustrations and concerns of those working with Sz. pombe. The community was also briefed regarding the future transition of the current database (Sz. pombe GeneDB) to a fully-fledged Model Organism Database (MOD) to support the needs of both fission yeast and the broader scientific community.
粟酒裂殖酵母一直苦于工具和资源相对匮乏，尤其是与酿酒酵母相比时。2006年3月召开的欧洲裂殖酵母会议汇聚了相当一部分粟酒裂殖酵母研究群体，因此这是一个就从事这种模式生物研究的人员未来需求进行讨论的理想契机。虽然该会议就最基本的需求达成了共识，但也展现了从事粟酒裂殖酵母研究人员的挫败感和担忧。会议还向该群体简要介绍了当前数据库（粟酒裂殖酵母基因数据库）未来向全面的模式生物数据库（MOD）过渡的情况，以满足裂殖酵母及更广泛科学界的需求。
