Abstract excerpt
The SGS1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a homologue for the Bloom's syndrome and Werner's syndrome genes. The disruption of the SGS1 gene resulted in very poor sporulation, and the majority of the cells were arrested at the mononucleated stage. The recombination frequency measured by a return-to-growth assay was reduced considerably in sgs1 disruptants. However, double-strand break formation, which is a key...
