Phenotypic Suppression

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutation or over expression of one gene results in suppression of any phenotype (other than lethality/growth defect) associated with mutation or over expression of another gene.

A role for cohesin in the formation of a heterochromatic domain at fission yeast subtelomeres.

Dheur S, Saupe SJ, Genier S, Vazquez S, Javerzat JP

Increasing evidence implicates cohesin in the control of gene expression. Here we report the first analysis of cohesin-dependent gene regulation in fission yeast. Global expression profiling of the cohesin loader mutant mis4-367 identified a small number of upregulated and downregulated genes located within subtelomeric domains (SD). These 20-40 kb regions between chromosome arm euchromatin and telomere-proximal heterochromatin are characterized by ... [more]

Mutations/deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, but when combined in the same cell results in a more severe fitness defect or lethality under a given condition. This term is reserved for high or low throughput studies with scores.
