A clastogen is a mutagenic agent that disturbs normal DNA related processes or directly causes DNA strand breakages, thus causing the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of entire chromosome sections. [1] These processes are a form of mutagenesis which if left unrepaired, or improperly repaired, can lead to cancer. [1]
Synthetic genetic array analysis is generally conducted using colony arrays on petriplates at standard densities (96, 384, 768, 1536). To perform a SGA analysis in S.cerevisiae, the query gene deletion is crossed systematically with a deletion mutant array (DMA) containing every viable knockout ORF of the yeast genome (currently 4786 strains).

Types of mutations that can be introduced by random, site-directed, combinatorial, or insertional mutagenesis. In molecular biology, mutagenesis is an important laboratory technique whereby DNA mutations are deliberately engineered to produce libraries of mutant genes, proteins, strains of bacteria, or other genetically modified organisms.
From the pool of G 1 individuals, a heterozygous male is crossed to a female carrying the mutant allele (a). If the G 2 progeny are infertile or non-viable, they can be recovered again from the G 1 male. Figure 4: Deletion Screens.In this screen, ENU-treated males are crossed to females homozygous for a deletion of the region of interest. The ...
[5] This function is enabled by the presence of a recombinant λ-prophage (DE3). DE3 carries a T7 RNA polymerase (RNAP) gene under the control of a lacUV5 promoter (lacUV5-T7 gene 1). T7-RNAP is highly specific to the T7 promoter and orthogonal to native E. coli promoters.
The yeast deletion project, formally the Saccharomyces Genome Deletion Project, is a project to create data for a near-complete collection of gene-deletion mutants of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Each strain carries a precise deletion of one of the genes in the genome. This allows researchers to determine what each gene does by comparing ...
The Colts’ defeat also meant that the 9-5 Houston Texans will make the playoffs as AFC South winners. Meanwhile, there is a fascinating battle developing for the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
In genetics, a deletion (also called gene deletion, deficiency, or deletion mutation) (sign: Δ) is a mutation (a genetic aberration) in which a part of a chromosome or a sequence of DNA is left out during DNA replication.
