Detection of induced mitotic chromosome loss in Saccharomyces cerevisiae--an interlaboratory assessment of 12 chemicals.

Induced mitotic chromosome loss was assayed using diploid yeast strain S. cerevisiae D61.M.

Detection of induced mitotic chromosome loss in Saccharomyces cerevisiae--an interlaboratory study.

The diploid yeast strain D61.M was used to study induction of mitotic chromosome loss. The test relies upon the uncovering and expression of multiple recessive markers reflecting the presumptive loss of the chromosome VII homologue carrying the corresponding wild-type alleles.
