Analysis of interactions between mutagens, I. Heat and ultraviolet light in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Mutation research - 1 Oct 1990

Ager D D, Haynes R H

Abstract excerpt

A new mathematical approach to the description of interaction data (Ager and Haynes, 1987) is applied here to the interaction between heat and ultraviolet light (UV) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A strong synergism for cell killing is found to be associated with large increases in gene conversion...
