This document discusses the yeast two-hybrid system, which is used to detect protein-protein interactions. It describes the original yeast two-hybrid system developed by Fields and Song, as well as several variations that can detect other types of molecular interactions. These variations are referred to as "n-hybrid systems". The document then provides details on the principle and setup of the classic yeast two-hybrid system, as well as alternative yeast two-hybrid systems that detect interactions in different cellular locations.

The Walt Disney Company and Pixar Inc.: To Acquire or Not to AcquireEric Moon
This document discusses Pixar and Disney's potential acquisition of Pixar. It provides overviews of both companies and their capabilities. Pixar has strong animation and storytelling capabilities as well as a culture that promotes creativity and collaboration. Disney lacks these capabilities and has a more hierarchical culture. The document considers alternatives to acquisition like a strategic alliance but finds acquisition makes the most sense for Disney's growth given Pixar is a near-perfect strategic fit. However, risks include integrating the different cultures and financial risks around stock dilution from the deal. In the end, Disney's CEO believes more can be accomplished through full ownership than a joint venture.
