Interspecific complementation analysis of the Schizosaccharomyces Japonicus NRG1 gene

Abstract

Schizozsaccharomyces japonicus is the only dimorphic fission yeast and Schizosaccharomyces pombe is the attractive model organism. Our aim was to clone the Schizosaccharomyce japonicus nrg1 gene into a shuttle vector to investigate its function in the closely related Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells.
