Stock IDSD01240
Strain NameSB2407H
AKAPrecursor for meiotic segregant panel 2A
SpeciesT. thermophila
Genetic Descriptionchx1-1/chx1-1; mpr1-1/mpr1-1; PMR1[C3]/PMR1[C3]; MAT3/MAT3 (CHX1[C3]; cy-s, ?)
MAC Knockins/outs
MIC Knockins/outs
Gene of Interest
OriginB x C3 F1 progeny were induced to undergo meiosis by crossing them to A*. This clone is a round I heterokaryon strain. To generate the panel member it must be crossed in mass to A* for two rounds. True progeny are selected for by resistance to cycloheximide.
