Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic genomes contain potentially unstable sequences whose rearrangement threatens genome structure and function. Here we show that certain mutant alleles of the nucleotide excision repair (NER)/TFIIH helicase genes RAD3 and SSL2 (RAD25) confer synthetic lethality and destabilize the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome by increasing both short-sequence recombination and Ty1 retrotransposition. The rad3-G595R and...
