03:13Selection of Suppressor Colonies and Confirmation of Phenotype
05:27Results: Slow-growing Mutants Show Phenotypic Recovery and Genetic Confirmation of Identified Suppressor Mutations Verifies the Heritability of the Recovery Phenotype
We present a simple suppressor screen protocol in fission yeast. This method is efficient, mutagen-free, and selective for mutations that often occur at a single genomic locus. The protocol is suitable for isolating suppressors that alleviate growth defects in liquid culture that are caused by a mutation or a drug.
