Genetic map of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract

Researchers present a compilation of most of the published yeast mapping data, as well as a large amount of unpublished data, according to chromosomes and intervals; the numbers of independent sets of data for the different intervals ranged from 1 to 12. These data have been analyzed and a new genetic map has been constructed. Although all of the data presented in this article are from tetrad analyses, many other techniques have been used to assign genes to chromosomes or to specific chromosome arms. These techniques include aneuploid analysis, mitotic recombination analysis, mitotic chromosome loss or nondisjunction, and random spore analysis.
