Abstract excerpt
We have devised a genetic screen to identify trans-acting factors involved in chromosome transmission in yeast. This approach was designed to potentially identify a subset of genes encoding proteins that interact with centromere DNA. It has been shown that mutations in yeast centromere DNA cause aberrant chromosome segregation during mitosis and meiosis. We reasoned that the function of an altered centromere...
