Investigating Fission Yeast Mutagenesis Using Canavanine Sensitivity Assays.

Abstract excerpt

Fission yeast are genetically tractable and amenable to mutagenesis studies. Canavanine is a toxic antimetabolite that can be used to test mutation rate. Recent studies have shown that the molecular genetics of canavanine sensitivity are more complex than previously anticipated. However, genomics advances indicate that canavanine use to determine mutation remains an option. In this chapter, we provide methods to...
