Abstract excerpt
Combinations of two non-lethal mutations that result in cell death are synthetically lethal. Such a genetic relationship suggests a functional interaction between the corresponding gene products. Frequently, an ade2 ade3 colony-sectoring assay is used to screen for synthetic lethal mutants. In these screens, mutants are sought that fail to lose a plasmid that bears a gene of interest. However, a subset of mutants...
