Mating-type switching in homothallic clones of the fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, appears to follow the same route as previously found for "mutations" from homothallism to heterothallic strains. A copy of mat2-P is transposed to and inserted at rnatl, where it functionally replaces the rn

Results of four crosses are presented which indicate that, in Schizosaccharomyces pombe the plus segment of the mating-typing locus is regulated from a central position, in between of the plus and the minus segment. This conclusion is based on the mapping of a plus-restraining entity r, which is rev
The mating type gene MATA of the dimorphic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica was cloned. The strategy used was based on the presumed function of this gene in the induction of sporulation. A diploid strain homozygous for the mating type B was transformed with an integrative gene bank from an A wild-type stra
