Does chromosome size affect map distance and genetic interference in budding yeast?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The hypothesis that chromosome size affects the rate and distribution of meiotic crossovers in budding yeast was tested. Map distance and interference were measured in the same genetic intervals present on either small (340 and 508 kb) or large (917 and 1085 kb) chromosomes, respectively. No differences were observed.

Conservation and rewiring of functional modules revealed by an epistasis map in fission yeast.
An epistasis map (E-MAP) was constructed in the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, by systematically measuring the phenotypes associated with pairs of mutations. This high-density, quantitative genetic interaction map focused on various aspects of chromosome function, including transcription regulation and DNA repair/replication. The E-MAP uncovered a previously unidentified component of...

Synthetic genetic array (SGA) analysis automates yeast genetics, enabling high-throughput construction of ordered arrays of double mutants. Quantitative colony sizes derived from SGA analysis can be used to measure cellular fitness and score for genetic interactions, such as synthetic lethality. Here we show that SGA colony sizes also can be used to obtain global maps of meiotic recombination b...
متن کاملThe budding yeast Msh4 protein functions in chromosome synapsis and the regulation of crossover distribution.
The budding yeast MSH4 gene encodes a MutS homolog produced specifically in meiotic cells. Msh4 is not required for meiotic mismatch repair or gene conversion, but it is required for wild-type levels of crossing over. Here, we show that a msh4 null mutation substantially decreases crossover interference. With respect to the defect in interference and the level of crossing over, msh4 is similar ...

Sexually reproducing organisms create gametes with half the somatic cell chromosome number so that fusion of gametes at fertilization does not change the ploidy of the cell. This reduction in chromosome number occurs by the specialized cell division of meiosis in which two rounds of chromosome segregation follow a single round of chromosome duplication. Meiotic crossovers formed between the non...

Genetic maps with high genome coverage are becoming increasingly useful in both basic and applied genetic researches. In the last decades, the advent of DNA markers has brought about a magnificent revolution in the production of genetic map, especially in wheat. In the present study, AFLP markers were used to saturate linkage map of 107 doubled haploid individuals produced through Fukuho _Komug...
