Abstract excerpt
In this study, we used the ADE2 gene in a colony color assay to monitor transcription from the normally silent HMR mating-type locus in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This sensitive assay reveals that some previously identified cis- and trans-acting mutations destabilize silencing, causing genetically identical cells to switch between repressed and derepressed transcriptional states. Deletion of the autonomously...
