Chromosomal Assignment of Mutations by Specific Chromosome Loss in the Yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae

RESUMO

Yeast 2-μm plasmids were integrated near the centromere of a different chromosome in each of 16 cir(0) mapping strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The specific chromosomes containing the integrated 2-μm plasmid DNA were lost at a high frequency after crossing the cir(0) strains to cir(+) strains. A recessive mutation in a cir(+) strain can then be easily assigned to its chromosome using this set of mapping strains, since the phenotype of the recessive mutation will be manifested only in diploids having the integrated 2-μm plasmid and the unmapped mutation on homologous chromosomes.
