Dosage Rescue

A genetic interaction is inferred when over expression or increased dosage of one gene rescues the lethality or growth defect of a strain that is mutated or deleted for another gene.

A novel mutation involved in the mitotic checkpoint in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Ishiguro J, Yamada N

The cps8 mutation which confers supersensitivity to a spindle poison, Isopropyl N-3-chlorophenyl carbamate (CIPC), in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe was investigated. The cps8 mutant accumulated enlarged multinucleate cells in the stationary phase under normal growth conditions. The mutant was highly lethal at 36.5 degrees C in a fresh growth medium but not in a saline solution where the cell ... [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.
