PublicationsStemm-Wolf AJ, Meehl JB, Winey M. 2013. Sfr13, a member of a large family of asymmetrically localized Sfi1-repeat proteins, is important for basal body separation and stability in tetrahymena thermophila. J Cell Sci 126(Pt 7):1659-71.
Commentssfr13 complete null rescue. First a 5' part of the gene was introduced into the sfr13 locus with BSR selection. Second, the remainder of the gene was introduced to the KO locus with the 5' BSR insertion, and rescue of the small cell size phenotype was selected for.
