Abstract excerpt
The synthetic lethal screen is a method of isolating novel mutants whose survival is dependent on a gene of interest. Combining the colony-color assay with a synthetic lethal screen offers a means to visually detect a mutant that depends on a plasmid for survival. Screening for synthetic lethals can be achieved in four steps. First, the gene of interest must be mutated in a strain harboring the ade2 ade3/ade8...
