Mapping of mutation tsm-8 with respect to transfer RNA genes on the mitochondrial DNA of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

A precise localization of the tsm-8 mutation in relation to the transfer RNA genes has been attempted by rho- deletion analysis. The data show that the tsm-8 mutation is in close proximity to the isoleucyl transfer RNA gene. However, it is not yet possible to decide whether the tsm-8 mutation is within this transfer RNA gene.
