What’s old is new again: yeast mutant screens in the era of pooled segregant analysis by genome sequencing

April 4, 2016

This article comments on work published by Den Abt et al. (Microbial Cell, 2016), which identified genes involved in ethyl acetate formation in a yeast mutant screen based on a new approach combining repeated rounds of chemical mutagenesis and pooled segregant analysis by whole genome sequencing.
