Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor Swi4p plays a crucial role in the control of the initiation of the cell cycle in budding yeast. To further understand Swi4p function, we set up a synthetic lethal screen for genes interacting with SWI4. Fourteen conditional mutations which resulted in lethality only in th...
