Fig. 5. top3-134 is synthetically lethal in combination with deletion of rad3/rad26 but not with deletion of other checkpoint genes. (A-D) Tetrads derived from diploid strains of the following genotypes were microdissected onto YES agar: (A) h+/h- rad3::ura4+/rad3+ top3-134/top3+; (B) h+/h- rad26::ura4+/rad26+ top3-134/top3+; (C) h+/h- rad1::ura4+/rad1+ top3-134/top3+; and (D) h+/h- rad17::ura4+/rad17+ top3-134/top3+. Colonies resulting from nine tetrads in each case were photographed after seven days growth at 26°C. The genotypes of the segregants were determined by replica plating and are indicated schematically [right: (A) W, top3+ rad1+ rad3+ rad17+ rad26+; T, top3-134, R,
