Genetic fine structure of the albino (<i>al</i>) region of<i>Neurospora crassa</i>

Abstract

SUMMARYBy crossing a pair of albino strains each with a different adjacent nutritional marker and then crossing the same pair of albino markers with the nutritional markers transposed it was possible to order a series ofalmutants with a resolution approaching that available for nutritional markers. A genetic map with approximated distances is provided demonstrating a grouping of mutant sites for a range of discrete carotenoidless phenotypes.</jats:p
