From Howard Rosen, California State University, Los Angeles, October 1986

Phenotype: UV sensitive

This is a UV-sensitive mutant isolated by Rosen and Ebersold after UV mutagenesis. Cells of this mutant show increased UV survival when treated with caffeine, an indication that they are not deficient in recombination repair.
