Abstract excerpt
Nonidentical recombination substrates recombine less efficiently than do identical substrates in yeast, and much of this inhibition can be attributed to action of the mismatch repair (MMR) machinery. In this study an intron-based inverted repeat assay system has been used to directly compare the rates of mitotic and meiotic recombination between pairs of 350-bp substrates varying from 82% to 100% in sequence...
