Procedure for Identifying Nonsense Mutations
Open accessAbstract
A method has been devised for the rapid identification of nonsense mutations (UAG, UAA, UGA codons) in Salmonella . The mutations to be tested are reverted, and the revertants are replica-printed onto lactose plates spread with lawns of tester strains. These tester strains contain F′ lac episomes with nonsense mutations in the episomal Z gene. The revertants are infected with the episome from the tester strain lawn. Because S. typhimurium is unable to ferment lactose, only those revertants which have nonsense suppressors are able to grow on lactose. If colonies appear on the lactose plate, it may be concluded that the original strain carries a nonsense mutation, since nonsense suppressors suppress the mutant phenotype.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
