Phenotypic Enhancement

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

Chd1 chromatin remodelers maintain nucleosome organization and repress cryptic transcription.

Hennig BP, Bendrin K, Zhou Y, Fischer T

Chromatin organization is essential for defining transcription units and maintaining genomic integrity in eukaryotes. In this study, we found that deletion of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe Chd1 chromatin remodelers, hrp1 and hrp3, causes strong, genome-wide accumulation of antisense transcripts. Nucleosome mapping revealed a specific role for Chd1 remodelers in the positioning of nucleosomes in gene coding regions. Other mutations associated with ... [more]

Synthetic Lethality

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations or deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in lethality when combined in the same cell under a given condition.
