AKAMember of terminal assortant panel
SpeciesT. thermophila
Genetic Descriptionchx1-1/Chx1-1[C3]; MAT2/MAT3 (chx1-1; MAT2; cy-r, VII)
MAC Knockins/outs
MIC Knockins/outs
Gene of Interest
OriginCU369 (a cycloheximide heterokaryon) was mated to C3-3585 and cycloheximide-resistant progeny selected, taken to maturity, and mating type tested. Mating types I, IV, and VII were taken an additional 500 fissions, then single cell isolated.

CommentsNot useful for mapping loci on MIC chromosome 3R. One parent was missing this chromosome arm, so the progeny were not heterozygous.
