Thanks for your email. I found in our collection the plasmids
pFA6a:His3MX, pAG60 and pAG61
"I am curious, and I have a question for the yeast community. Does
anyone know what the "MX" stands for in "KanMX?""
Achim Wach et al (Yeast 10: 1793, 1994) define MX
modules as hybrid gene fusions of the Tn903knar ORF under
transcriptional and translational control of the promoter and
terminator of the Ashbya gossypii TEF gene (kanMX module) or the
Ashbya gossypii LEU2" gene (AgLEU2MX1 module).
M seems to be for module.
