Genetic analysis of meiotic recombination in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

Gerald Smith (2009) Genetic analysis of meiotic recombination in Schizosaccharomyces pombe Methods Mol Biol 557 65-76

Abstract

The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is well-suited for studying meiotic recombination. Methods are described here for culturing S. pombe and for genetic assays ofintragenic recombination (gene conversion), intergenic recombination (crossing-over), and spore viability. Both random spore and tetrad analyses are described.
