Modulating gene dose is an effective way to alter protein levels and modify phenotypes to understand gene function. In addition, combining gene-dose alleles with chemical perturbation can provide insight into drug-gene interactions. Here, we present a strategy that combines diverse loss-of-function alleles to systematically modulate gene dose in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The generated gene dosage allele set expands the genetic toolkit for uncovering novel phenotypes.
