Abstract excerpt
We report here the use of the ADH4:CUP1 amplification detection system to identify five high amplification rate (HAR) strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that display 40- to 600-fold higher amplification rates than those of parental strains. We have identified a mutation in RAD3 DNA repair helicase gene in HAR strain B9-40 that results in a 40-fold increase in amplification rate. RAD3 is the functional homolog of...
