Dear Yeast Researchers,
Since yeast cells can change their mating types between a and alpha by
HO, I wonder how we can specify a genotype as MAT a or alpha because,
for example, cells could have a type after divisions even though you
started with alpha type. I learned that this switching happens more than
50%. Please get me out of this sea of ignorance. Thanks a lot.
