The isolation of nonsense mutations in cell division cycle genes of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae

  • Published:
Molecular and General Genetics MGG Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Nonsense mutations have been isolated in cell division cycle genes in a strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that carries a temperature-sensitive amber suppressor. These mutants may be valuable in identifying the products of genes involved in the cycle and in determining the pattern of their synthesis during the cell cycle.
