Abstract excerpt
The cytoplasmically inherited [KIL-d] element epigenetically regulates killer virus gene expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. [KIL-d] results in variegated defects in expression of the M double-stranded RNA viral segment in haploid cells that are "healed" in diploids. We report that the [KIL-d] element is spontaneously lost with a frequency of 10(-4)-10(-5) and reappears with variegated phenotypic expression...
