Abstract excerpt
Synthetic dosage lethality (SDL) is a type of genetic interaction that occurs when increasing the expression of a gene causes a fitness defect, such as lethality, in a specific mutant background but has little effect on fitness in a wild-type background. SDL genetic interactions discovered in model organisms such as the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae , represent candidate genetic interactions that may be...
