Synthetic genetic analysis was improved by eliminating leaky expression of the HIS3 reporter and gene conversion between the HIS3 reporter and his3Delta1. Leaky expression was eliminated using 3-aminotriazole and gene conversion was eliminated by using the Schizosaccharomyces pombe his5+ gene, resulting in a 5- to 10-fold improvement in the efficiency of SGA.
