Abstract
The switching gene swi5 has a function in mating-type switching. In addition, the swi5 mutation causes an increased radiation sensitivity and reduces meiotic recombination about ten-fold. Based on the latter property, an experimental protocol was developed for using swi5 in long-range mapping in S. pombe. It is suitable for a speedy mapping of any new gene which has not yet been cloned. The procedure was used to clarify the map positions of some genes.Entities:
