| Description | A technique used to detect genetic interactions between 2 (or more) genes in a sporulating organism by scoring a large population of haploid spores for a phenotype and correlating the phenotype with the presence of single vs double (multiple) mutations. A diploid heterozygous organism harbouring mutations in two (or more) genes is induced to sporulate. Resulting spores are meiotic segregants that are haploid and are either wild type or mutant at each locus. Spores are scored for a phenotype, such as loss of viability. | Namespace | PSI-MI |
