✦ Synopsis

The nomenclature rules for the genetics of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe have been fixed for the first time, after discussion among scientists working with this organism. Conventions are proposed for the naming of genes and alleles that are obtained by classical means or by reverse genetics. In addition a list has been compiled of 460 known genes of S. pombe. It includes genes defined both by classical mutation analysis and by molecular cloning. 270 genes have been assigned either to one of the three nuclear chromosomes or the mitochondrial genome.

Purines such as hypoxanthine, xanthine, uric acid, allantoin and allantoic acid serve as sole nitrogen sources for the yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. A number of classes of mutants unable to use purines have been isolated and genetically analysed. Mutants in the urol gene lack uricase, alll lack a
