Abstract excerpt
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene deletion project revealed that approximately 20% of yeast genes are required for viability. The analysis of essential genes traditionally relies on conditional mutants, typically temperature-sensitive (ts) alleles. We developed a systematic approach (termed "diploid shuffle") useful for generating a ts allele for each essential gene in S. cerevisiae and for improved genetic...
