Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal rearrangements, such as deletions, duplications, or Ty transposition, are rare events. We devised a method to select for such events as Ura(+) revertants of a particular ura2 mutant. Among 133 Ura(+) revertants, 14 were identified as the result of a deletion in URA2. Of seven classes of deletions, six had very short regions of identity at their junctions (from 7 to 13 bp long). This strongly suggests...
