Genetics

  Description       Write an essay in response to following questions: In their landmark 1973 study, Block et al. performed an analysis of the development of 5-fluorocytosine resistance in the pathogen C. neoformans. How did they determine if resistance is induced through interaction between the pathogen and antifungal agent? How could you have used this approach to determine whether exposure to a(alpha)-aminoadipate creates tys mutants? What result should you anticipate, and why? The writing should mainly base on the article attached. However other primary research articles may be utilised as well.
