MAC Knockins/outs
MIC Knockins/outs
Gene of InterestMPH (membranellar pattern H)
OriginGenomic exclusion progeny following an outcross to B2086 VIb of a clone that resulted from nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis of IA264 followed by cytogamy in 1993
PublicationsBrief mention in Review: Frankel J. 2008. What do genic mutations tell us about the structural patterning of a complex single-celled organism? Eukaryot Cell 7(10):1617-39.
