Suffixes used are as follows:
Ab aberration (r) resistant
(d) dependent (s) sensitive
(p) pH-sensitive (t) temperature-sensitive
pr partial reversion T translocation (reciprocal or insertional)
In addition, in cases where more than one gene mutation has been
recovered from a stock, a suffix is added to the isolation number to
differentiate the two; i.e., Y30539y is an allele of ylo-1; y30539r an allele
of rib-2.
For many of the original mutant strains of Beadle and Tatum, only incomplete records are available as to whether existing strains are original or derived. Where any doubt occurs, the symbol O? is employed to indicate uncertainty.
A Abbott C Chilton L Lindegren E Emerson M Mixed RL Rockefeller-Lindegren SL St. Lawrence AxM Abbott crossed with mixed AxC Abbott crossed with Chilton LxE Lindegren crossed with Emerson AxL Abbott crossed with LindegrenNumbers after symbols (as SL4) refer to the number of backcrosses to the indicated background. SL4 should be read "back-crossed into St. Lawrence background four times."
