Abstract excerpt
Fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is amenable to genetics and is an excellent model system for studying eukaryotic cell biology. However, auxotrophic markers that can be used for both targeted gene integration and disruption are very limited. Here we performed a forward genetic screen in an effort to develop a new set of selectable markers for use in this yeast. Mutants that were auxotrophic for arginine,...
