Abstract excerpt
Recombination between direct repeats has been studied in Penicillium chrysogenum using strain TD7-88 (lys- py+), which contains two inactive copies of the lys2 gene separated by 4.5 kb of DNA (including the pyrG gene) in its genome. Gene conversion leading to products with the lys+ pyr+ phenotype was observed at a frequency of 1 in 3.2x10(3) viable spores. Two types of deletion events giving rise to lys+ pyr- and...
