The internal organization of the cell has been enriched by the discovery that organelles establish membrane contact sites, however the entire repertoire of these contacts is still being explored. Here the authors systematically identify the landscape of cellular contact sites in yeast, discovering four potential novel contact sites and two tether proteins for the peroxisome-mitochondria contact site.
