Abstract excerpt
The unusual behavior of the mutation ami36, which generates hyperrecombination in two point crosses, was previously attributed to a localized conversion process changing A/G mispairs into CG pairs. Although the mechanism was found to be dependent on the DNA polymerase I, the specific function responsible for this correction was still unknown. Analysis of the pneumococcal genome sequence has revealed the presence...
