The Classics

Mating Type of Saccharomyces

A DELETION IN YEAST AND ITS BEARING ON THE STRUCTURE OF THE MATING TYPE LOCUS. The 'Hawthorne deletion' was the critical piece of data that led Strathern, et al. to develop the cassette model for mating type switching.

The Hawthorne deletion twenty-five years later. Herskowitz's Perspectives piece fills in the gap(s). Buh-dum-ching!

Control of cell type in yeast by the mating type locus. The alpha 1-alpha 2 hypothesis. Self evident.

Silencing and Position Effects in Yeast

A suppressor of mating-type locus mutations in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: evidence for and identification of cryptic mating-type loci. Bonus points if you've heard of ssp515.

Four genes responsible for a position effect on expression from HML and HMR in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Sir1 was starting to get lonely...

Position effect at S. cerevisiae telomeres: reversible repression of Pol II transcription. Gottschling, et al. describe Telomere Position Effect for the first time.
