title: Mapping of the trifunctional fatty acid synthetase gene FAS2 on chromosome XVI of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
abstract: The trifunctional FAS2 gene encoding subunit alpha of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae fatty acid synthetase complex was mapped on the left arm of chromosome XVI 24 centimorgans proximal to GAL4 and 39 centimorgans distal to PEP4 relative to the centromere. Mapping was achieved by three independent methods: meiotic co-segregation of FAS2 and ARO7 in recombination-deficient spo11-mutants: tetrad analysis of crosses between FAS2, GAL4 and PEP4; and Southern hybridization of purified FAS2 DNA with individual yeast chromosomes separated by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.
