Reik There is another way of doing it. This can be determined quite precisely. For example, in Schi osaccharomyces pomhe the grand parental DNA strands are marked epigenetically to affect mating type switching. 

Investigations of cyanides and cyano complexes of Cd and Hg have augmented tremendously since about 1990, after detection of inclusion compounds of Cd(CN)2. A thorough review on transition-metal cyanides especially emphasizes the chemistry of inclusion compounds of both the Hofmann type (frameworks dominated by planar Ni(CN)4 building blocks) and the cyanocad-mate type (frameworks with tetrahedral Cd(CN)4 units).87 The structures of these inclusion compounds, but also of cyanides themselves, often topologically resemble the structures of minerals this aspect ( mineralomimetic chemistry ) is dealt with in a simultaneous survey.88 A more generic review of framework structures, with a section on cyanide inclusion compounds, is also to be mentioned.90...

Yeast cells can exist as haploids of opposite mating types (either a or a). When an a and an a cell are allowed to mate, they form a diploid cell (a/a). To study interactions between two proteins, cDNA sequences of a protein of interest (PT1) are expressed as a fusion protein, linked to a DNA-binding domain (DBD) of a yeast gene-transcript activator in a haploid cell (e.g., a). cDNA sequences corresponding to another test protein (PT2) are linked to the Continued on next page)... 

Tunicamycin specifically inhibits cell division and pairing between the mating types of Tetrahymena pyriformis. The glycoproteins involved in this mating process have not yet been characterized, but may coincide with new, concanavalin A receptor-sites that appear during conjugation.495...

Some other transposons. Transposons have a variety of biological functions. For example, haploid cells of the yeast S. cerevisiae exist as one of two mating types a or a. The mating type is established by transposition of one of two "cassettes" of genes from two different "silent" locations to a location from which they can be expressed.623 624 See Chapter 28.
