Summary
Tetrad and random spore analyses have been used to further develop the genetic map of Saccharomycopsis lipolytica. Mutations in 23 new nuclear genes have been isolated. Eight genes have been located on linkage fragment 1, 4 on fragment 2, 2 on fragment 5 and 3 on fragment 6. Linkage fragments 3 and 4 have been shown to be linked, and this fragment now contains 12 markers. A tentative map of the linkage fragments 1 and 3 is presented (Fig. 1). Markers exhibiting possible centromere linkage have been identified. Interference estimates suggest that there is little interference in S. lipolytica.
