Orthogonal field gel electrophoresis (OFAGE) was used to examine the distribution of X and Y{\textquoteright} on different yeast chromosomes. Although the distribution of X and Y{\textquoteright} varies among different laboratory strains of yeast, most yeast chromosomes in four different strains carry both X and Y{\textquoteright}. However, at least one chromosome in each strain lacks the Y{\textquoteright} element. This result indicates that Y{\textquoteright} is not essential for replication or segregation of at least some yeast chromosomes. }, year = {1986}, journal = {Basic Life Sci}, volume = {40}, pages = {493-8}, issn = {0090-5542}, language = {eng}, }
