Abstract excerpt
We describe a new approach for identifying the gene corresponding to a mutation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A library of mTn-lacZ/LEU2 insertions is tested for failure to complement the mutation, and the noncomplementing insertion is used to obtain sequence. This approach offers an alternative to cloning by complementation with a plasmid library.
