Synthetic lethal- A screening method used to uncover mutations in a second gene that will require the cell to maintain a wild-type copy of the gene being studied in order to survive. 1st mutation + 2nd mutation = lethalityThis screen is commonly used in yeast genetics, but can be used in other model organisms as well.
