Abstract excerpt
Transcriptional slippage was previously found in Escherichia coli during RNA elongation at runs of 10 or more As or Ts, resulting in the addition of untemplated A or U residues. To evaluate the incidence of transcriptional slippage in vivo, we employed a yeast functional assay, and analyzed the frequency and spectrum of mutations in mRNA of the tumor suppressor p53 in rat tissues. In this assay, yeast are...
