Mitotic recombination in yeast: elements controlling its incidence.
Yeast (Chichester, England) - 15 Jun 2000

Abstract excerpt
Mitotic recombination is an important mechanism of DNA repair in eukaryotic cells. Given the redundancy of the eukaryotic genomes and the presence of repeated DNA sequences, recombination may also be an important source of genomic instability. Here we review the data, mainly from the budding yeast S. cerevisiae, that may help to understand the spontaneous origin of mitotic recombination and the different elements...
