Using canavanine resistance to measure mutation rates in Schizosaccharomyces pombe
Chen‐Chun Pai, Ellen Heitzer, Sibyl Bertrand…·Stephen E. Kearsey
The paper measures mutation rates in S. pombe using canavanine resistance and finds that spontaneous mutants predominantly have an R175C mutation in the any1 gene, which confers resistance through altered arginine transport and cell morphology.
