To examine genetic interactions, diploid cells with the indicated gene deletions were created and mid-log-phase YPD-grown cells were sized. Averages are the result of multiple independent measurements. SD, standard deviation.

a

From the dissection of 126 tetrads (100 from +/cln3Δ∷LEU2+/whi5Δ∷NAT +/bck2Δ∷kanmx∷URA3 +/ccr4Δ:KanMX heterozygotes and 26 from +/ccr4Δ:KanMX +/cln3Δ:KanMX heterozygotes), no viable ccr4Δcln3Δ spores were obtained.

b

A total of 49 tetrads were dissected and no viable ccr4Δswi6Δ spores were obtained.

c

A total of 40 tetrads were dissected and no viable ccr4Δcln1Δcln2Δ spores were obtained.
