Here's an idea I have been thinking about. A supply of kanamycin resistant transformants with constitutive reporter alleles could be very useful for chromosome mechanics. What would be needed is for everyone to routinely map their 35S-GUS transformants (usually the controls for other experiments). If we had a supply of mapped strains (i.e. every arm marked) these might be useful for many genetic studies. My suggestion is that everyone routinely map theircontrol transformants, that appear to reside at a single locus. One of the stock centers being established could then distribute the collection to interested chromosome manipulaters. Russell Malmberg
